Q: Do I need any baking experience to join this class?
Not at all! This class is perfect for absolute beginners. We’ll guide you step by step through the process of starting your sourdough journey.
Q: Will I be baking bread in this class?
No, this class focuses on the first step of the sourdough process—creating your starter. We’ll cover everything you need to know about fermentation, caring for your starter, and getting ready to bake at home.
Q: Is this class hands-on or just a demonstration?
It’s a mix! You’ll be guided step-by-step in making your own sourdough starter during the session, but we won’t be baking bread. There will also be theory and Q&A time.
Q: I’ve already done your full workshop—should I still come?
If you've already completed the full workshop, you likely don’t need this class. But we’d love if you could share it with family and friends who might benefit from a more accessible starting point.
Q: Is this class suitable for kids or teens?
The class is designed for adults, but mature teens are welcome if accompanied by an adult. It’s a great parent-child learning opportunity!
