The Event

Would you like to be part of a community of cooks and chefs that know how to bake their own sourdough breads? Wait no further! Join this hands-on Masterclass and spend a day in our kitchen exploring the techniques behind baking sourdough breads.

This class will give you the skills for baking different types of sourdough bread with textures, colours and flavours that delight, and with your sourdough starter at your side, you will be connecting with other fellow bread lovers. It's an ideal way to make new baking buds while finding tasty healthy things to make at home.

The sessions will be fun, relaxed and supportive. You do not need any prior sourdough experience or knowledge. All skill levels are welcome, and all ingredients provided.

The masterclass will show you:

  • You will learn what is sourdough and how it works, health benefits , costs, and how to choose your flour
  • How to create and maintain a sourdough starter
  • Learn how to mix, fold and shape dough
  • How to bake good sourdough bread (including bread using rye flour)
  • Advice on fitting sourdough baking into your schedule
  • Your own starter and bread to take home 
  • Receive extensive easy-to-follow recipe sheets provided to recreate the breads again and again at home
  • Enjoy an alfresco organic vegan lunch in our kitchen garden
  • Top off the experience with the stunning views across leafy Clapton Common as you cook and learn

This class will be a mixture of practical cooking, demos and time to ask questions. We are now returning to 'family style' cooking with everyone cooking in groups and sharing workstations. This creates more of a communal and interactive experience, working together as a team. All ingredients and equipment needed for the class are provided.
