Sourdough Baking For Better Health | Brot Bakery

Bread - one of the foundations of human life - has become industrialized, bland and depleted. By coming back to the traditional ways of making bread - which natural starter cultures, lots of time and locally grown, whole grains - we are re-claiming one of the oldest, most comforting foods in our shared human history for a healthy diet.

In this workshop you will look at the history, ancient and modern use and many possibilities of baking with a natural starter culture. By understanding the assembly of microbial communities in sourdough and their impact on bread baking, your home-baked bread will have amazing flavor and digestibility. Natural bread making is easy and everybody can do it!

By diving deeper into the traditional techniques for bread making we explore everything from flatbreads to classic hearth breads, using local spelt, rye, corn & wheat. Join us for a day of kneading, baking, and tasting. Some of those tastes will probably be new to you, as we bake with locally grown ancient grains and rare varieties. Some grains - like wheat and oats - are familiar but might still surprise you.

They think good ingredients, traditional preparations, sustainable farming practices and rich taste will always go together. Yes, you will learn how to bake incredible bread. But you will also go home with a re-kindled appreciation for foods that nourish you and the knowledge of preparing them for you and your family. After all, baking has always been about sharing bread and the rituals around it.

Workshop includes all material, recipe handouts, hands-on baking instructions, sourdough & natural starter theory incl. feeding routine, and a farm-to-bakery tasting with our freshly baked breads. Suitable for everyone who is curious about exploring natural baking in-depth.
