This class, Sponsored by King Arthur and Bread Baker’s Guild of America, will demystify the myths and explain the principles behind making bread with no commercial yeast. Learn the basics of sourdough and how it behaves differently than yeasted dough. Learn how to manipulate your process to fine tune the characteristics you are looking for in your bread. This class assumes you know the basics of artisan bread, including ingredient selection and the use of yeasted pre-ferments.
