Sourdough Bread Workshop with Denise

Back by popular demand - Denise is bringing her Sourdough baking skills to you!

Join us for a comprehensive hands-on workshop all about cultivating a sourdough culture and using it to bake bread. This is a very addictive and delicious hobby! Your instructor Denise will cover:

• Overview of the benefits and process for making sourdough bread

• How to make and maintain your own sourdough starter

• Demonstration and hands-on mixing, forming and baking your bread

• Recipes and recommendations for flour and equipment

• Sourdough tastings to sample for morning tea

• Take your dough with you, to shape and bake at home

Please bring 

• a jar (~250 ml) to take your sourdough culture home,

• a wooden cooking spoon, and 

• a mixing bowl (1-1.5L) for your dough. 

All other equipment and materials are provided.

No previous sourdough experience is required.

Can't make this one? We have Christmas Sourdough Baking and a Beyond the Loaf - 3 part series for those who want more.

Meet Denise

Denise brings extensive experience in sourdough and breadmaking, with a practical, approachable teaching style that makes even unfamiliar techniques feel achievable. Her workshops are hands-on, relaxed and designed to give you the confidence to go home and actually bake what you’ve learnt.

Perth City Farm is a community urban farm that supports connected, sustainable communities. Established on a former industrial site in East Perth, this polluted site has been lovingly rehabilitated by volunteers to become a Western Australian icon for environmental sustainability and community engagement. We provide space and opportunities to build community connections, and educate and enable people to live sustainably.

We are just down the steps from Claisebrook train station, and free parking is available on Saturdays at the TAFE carpark next door.
