Last week we learned how to make a sourdough starter. This week we put it to work and make our first sourdough boules. We have two options depending on whether you have a liquid or stiff starter. Both are delicious and you'll learn both as well as proper folding techniques to give your bread strength.

Don't have a sourdough starter? No worries. We will also do a version with dry yeast.

This class is online only and we'll make the bread together over Zoom video conferencing. The recipe is about 1.5-2 hours of active work and the rest of the time the dough rests or proofs.
