Bake Outside of the Loaf
Once you have a sourdough starter or culture, the possibilities are endless! In this virtual class, learn how to use your starter to produce a wide variety of baked goods, including pizza, New York Bagels, fruit and nut loaves, focaccia, and cinnamon rolls. Practice shaping, scoring and all the folds with baguettes, batards, and artistically scored boulés. Master timing and maintaining your starter, even with whole grains like in English Muffins and with high hydration like in Ciabatta. In addition, you’ll have a forum for addressing your sourdough questions and troubleshooting bread fails and weather changes.
Intermediate Sourdough Baking is a series of 8 live virtual classes, meeting on Saturdays from 4:00-6:00 PM Eastern Standard Time. We encourage you to attend each class, however, all classes will be recorded for your convenience, and Chef Laura is available for ongoing personal baking coaching!

Sourdough Baking is FUN!
My students Marianne and Grete, a mother-daughter pair who started baking together virtually during the pandemic, love Teaching Table's Sourdough baking classes so much, they created this homage.
Gain Confidence
I've taken both the beginner and advanced online sourdough classes with Laura and it's been a fantastic experience. Laura is so helpful in class for students at all levels, and also answers questions outside of class hours. I was never a big fan of baking before, but her tips and lessons have made me more knowledgeable and confident in the kitchen and now I really enjoy it. Thank you! - Kristen

What do I need?
We teach confident substitutions and how to use what you already have. I have adjusted and converted my recipes to account for lack of access to commonly used sourdough tools. But, if you must know, here is a list of suggested materials:
The only items you truly NEED are FLOUR and WATER. We can figure out the rest…
- water
- flour (ideally organic; from wheat, spelt, or rye)
- kitchen scale or measuring cups and spoons
- glass jars or containers with lids
- mixing bowls or large plastic containers, (ideally with covers or kitchen towels or plastic wrap)
- bench/dough scraper or large metal or plastic spatula
- basket or bowl for shaping bread
- parchment paper
- lame, razor blade or very sharp knife
- oven
