Floriana Baltagi gave me the sourdough bug and I feel so inspired by everything she does with and for the community. I was also lucky to be part of one of Floriana’s bread-baking workshops at her home in Bucharest this summer and she gave me courage. Evelina was already smitten with sourdough before me, thanks to her cousin-in-law, Ioana. Now we are ready to give it to you. The sourdough bug.
On Sunday, October 20 @ 12:00-17:00, we are hosting our first homemade bread workshop specifically working with wheat-based sourdough. We will show you all the how to’s, step by step: feeding the sourdough starter, autolysis, stretching and folding, scoring the bread and baking it, too. For making the bread, we will use organic Manitoba flour.
We will also enjoy a meal together and share stories around the table. You will go home with one bread to bake the next morning (in your cast iron pot), a banneton proofing basket, a scoring blade, and certainly sourdough starter for all your future loaves. In other words, with the tools you need to phase out the supermarket bread and phase in your own bread production at home.
There are 8 spots available for this workshop and the fee, due upon registration, is 450kr. Let us know via email (hello@webloom.no) or on IG (@we.the.bloom) if you would like to attend, and we will share all the details of the gathering with you. Yay!!!
