Whole Grain Sourdough Bakery

Foods

Amy James

Expand your baking horizon by learning to craft tasty whole grain breads using soakers and pre-ferments to coax the most flavor and nutrition from the grain. Students will create whole grain wheat and rye breads, some supplemented by seeds and grains for extra texture, flavor, and health. The breads will be baked in North House's harborside wood-fired oven and discussion will include information about creating a hearth oven baking experience for your own home oven. Participants will go home with bread, recipes, one wild yeast culture and the knowledge to bake these breads with confidence.

Making it happen:

When should I enroll?
We can't hold classes without students! Decisions regarding course cancellations (as related to minimum enrollment) are made three weeks before the class starts--so if you've got a course in mind, plan ahead and sign up at least three weeks in advance! That way we'll know you're coming, courses are more likely to meet minimum enrollment numbers, and then they'll actually take place.
Also watch for the words "nearly full" next to course dates. When that notation appears it means there are only one or two spots left--so sign up soon!
Do you take last minute registrations?
Of course! Although it's important that courses meet minimum enrollment three weeks before their scheduled start dates, we know that life doesn't always allow for prior planning. As long as there are still spots left in a course we're happy to accept your registration last minute.
When will new course dates be posted?
New course dates are posted both in the spring and fall to coordinate with our course catalog release dates. All the new dates are opened for enrollment on the same day and at the same time, so that everyone gets a fair crack at a spot in the courses they're interested in. As that time rolls around we announce when the new dates will "go live" in our e-newsletter. (sign up here!)
