Sanford Community Adult Education

There are two days for this class, they are a week apart.

Sourdough 101; Starting the Starter; 5p - 5:30p

We're going to dive into the fascinating world of sourdough starters.  A sourdough starter is a mixture of flour and water that captures wild yeast and bacteria from the environment, which ferments the mixture and makes it rise.  This natural fermentation process not only gives sourdough its unique flavor but also makes the bread more digestible.  Creating a sourdough starts is simple but requires patience and care as you nurture this living culture.  Over the next few days, we'll feed our starter daily with fresh flour and water, watching it transform into a bubbly, active mixture ready to bake delicious sourdough bread.

Please bring a large bowl with cover. Other Materials Included.
