Sourdough Beyond Bread: Cookies & Scones

This 2-hour hands-on class is designed for sourdough bakers who want to take their starter beyond bread. We’ll explore how sourdough fermentation behaves in sweet and enriched doughs by making cookies and scones. You’ll learn how starter maturity, acidity, hydration, and fermentation timing affect texture and flavor, and how to balance tang in delicate bakes. We’ll work with active starter and discard, bake together, and sample freshly baked cookies and scones while discussing how to adapt traditional recipes for sourdough with confidence.

Staci from Simply Rustic Dough will be leading you on this adventure:"I’m Staci a Millennial just doing her best to make wholesome baked goods.
