Cooking Club
You know the adage, teach a man to fish . . . teach someone to bake sourdough, and they will start buying 25 lb bags of flour and feeding their neighborhood!
Time for school! With Cooking Club and Alchemy Sourdough School Hailey gently guides you with warmth and love to create your own real, nourishing meals and bread. Nothing fussy.
Sourdough 101
Sourdough is intimidating. Heck, baking is scary! I was a lifelong non-measurer. I used to cringe at measuring spoons and cups. My palms, fingertips, and eyeballs were as precise as I got. A scale and grams were more than Greek to me!
Enter sourdough. I went entirely down the rabbit hole. Sourdough has become my love language — baking it, sharing it, eating it, talking about it with anyone who will listen, and teaching others to bake their own magical sourdough creations.
I’m a nurturer by trade and by heart. I want to gently guide you in a safe and comfortable environment, free of judgment, full of warmth, love, fun, and delicious bread!
Sourdough 101 is for beginner and intermediate bakers who may have killed a starter (or four) and want to learn the alchemy behind successfully baking your own sourdough bread. I’ve dug deep into the science so you don’t have to unless you want to, and then let’s talk sourdough 2.0!
This workshop covers everything from maintaining your starter, understanding the glossary of sourdough terminology (autolyse and leavain and bulk fermentation, oh my) as well as the whole process of creating and baking your dough, plus tips and tricks to ensure you’re successful. I’ve made every, single mistake so you don’t have to!
