After a year of baking, feeding, stretching and folding (and occasionally failing) J’aime is excited to finally share the sourdough process with you!In April 2025, J’aime took The Art of Sourdough Bread Making with Pat Miskiman and has been nurturing her starter and refining her method ever since. Now it is your turn to learn the foundations in a relaxed, hands-on afternoon workshop.
Join us from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM on Saturday May 9th for an approachable sourdough class where you will make your own dough, learn the stretch-and-fold process, and leave with the confidence to continue at home.
Because sourdough includes 30-minute rest periods between folds, those breaks will be filled with gentle guided movement led by Carlie Glasser. These yoga breaks may take place both on yoga mats and using chairs, making them highly accessible for a wide range of comfort and mobility levels.
In this workshop, you will:
Learn the basics of sourdough baking
Mix and create your own dough from scratch
Practice the stretch-and-fold process
Learn about final fold, overnight prep, and scoring
Take your dough home to bake the following day at your convenience
You’ll leave with:
Your own sourdough starter
Your prepared dough ready for baking the next day
A few helpful tools to support your sourdough journey including:
12x12 Granite Slab (just trust me, you want this!)
Dough Scraper
Baking Sling
Danish Dough Whisk
Scoring Tool
Flour & salt
