Sourdough Bread Workshop - Gluten Free too! - Dallas

 

Sourdough bread is made with wild yeast gathered from the air. This is a traditional leavener that was used before commercial baker's yeast was developed. It is responsible for incredible flavor, helps to make grains more digestible and nutritious, and has better keeping properties. Samples of bread, crackers, etc. are provided and you'll see different sourdough starters, discuss how to create a starter and care for it, how to make gluten free sourdough bread, what it is, the benefits of using sourdough, etc.

We will bake sourdough pancakes, pita bread, and sourdough bread sticks. Participants take home sourdough starter, get recipes for starter, how to use a dry starter, breads, and a guide on how to substitute sourdough in yeasted recipes.

When: Wednesday July 11th, 2012 - 7 - 9 pm

Price: $50/person
