Sourdough Bread Making

Masterclass - Sourdough Bread Making

The Event

“Bread makes itself, by your kindness, with your help, with imagination running through you, with dough under hand, you are bread-making itself, which is why breadmaking is so fulfilling and rewarding" - Edward Espe Brown, The Tassajara Bread Book.
