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. Now I am ready to give it to you. The sourdough bug.
We open up workshop times regularly. These gatherings will typically take place on selected Sundays from 12:00 to 18:00, as indicated. During the workshop, we will specifically be 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 use organic Manitoba flour and organic wholewheat flour, both of which are available to purchase at our favorite independent food shop, Ullandhaug gårdsbutikk.
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 each workshop and the fee is due upon registration. Following registration, we will share all the details of the gathering with you by email or sms. Yay!!!
