Taking the "Doh!" Out of Sourdough


Adult Enrichment / Cooking -
Fall 2025

Have you always wanted to try making sourdough but felt overwhelmed? This fun, hands-on workshop takes the mystery out of the process and shows you how to bake amazing bread with a simple, real-life method. Mix your own dough, learn how to care for a starter, and go home with: one loaf of dough to bake the next day, your own starter, and clear, step-by-step instructions to keep baking at home. 

What to bring:

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Tea towel/kitchen towel
  • Spatula or dough scraper
  • Kitchen scale (if you have one)

Note: For best results, sourdough is typically baked in a Dutch oven. The instructor will share alternative baking options during the workshop, but if you’ve been thinking about getting (or borrowing) one, now’s a great time! A minimum 4–5 qt size is ideal.

Children ages 14 years or older may enroll with an enrolled adult.
