Kneading Bread Dough

You Can DOUGH It!

Learn the power of being in the present by baking bread from scratch and how living life to the fullest today can mean thinking about the past.

 

Join us for interactive workshops during the week of October 10, 2022!

OVERVIEW

You are doing it all - juggling work priorities, catching up with friends, managing your household, even chasing your kids around the kitchen table from time to time. You live life at 100 miles an hour, but it works. Most of the time. 

In four unique interactive classes, you’ll learn the power of being in the present by baking sourdough bread from scratch and how living life to the fullest today can mean thinking about the past. 

With only 15 minutes each day, you will:

🥣 Learn how to bake sourdough bread,

🌾 Explore the history and culture of baking,

💗 Connect deeply with your food (and each other), &

🥖 Create a bread baking habit that you can easily sustain.

Whether you want to improve your baking skills, be more mindful, learn how to bake with your children, or simply explore history, this event has your name on it.

The programming was co-created with Eric Pallant, author of Sourdough Culture: A History of Bread Making from Ancient to Modern Bakers.
