Bake your first loaf at home with everything you need. Good sourdough takes patience, a little know-how and a starter you can count on. In this class, Peter Mireault of Chez Belmont Bread gives you all three. Spend an afternoon with Peter in the Duchess Atelier kitchen as he walks you through his craft, from milling flour to the different ways you can get a beautiful loaf out of your home oven. We'll keep the table full along the way, with food and fresh bread to enjoy while you learn. You'll leave with your own starter, the equipment you'll need, and a collection of sourdough recipes to keep baking long after class. In this class you will learn how milling your flour shapes flavour and texture; explore several ways to bake a great sourdough loaf at home, and enjoy food and fresh bread during class. Take home a starter, equipment and recipes to keep going on your own
