Sourdough for Impatient People: The Flatbread Edition with Sonya

What’s it all about? 

Working with sourdough has a reputation for being complicated, slow and slightly obsessive. But it doesn’t have to be. In this relaxed hands-on class you’ll learn how to use sourdough starter to make simple flatbreads without the need for fancy equipment or bakery-level skills.
If you’ve been curious about sourdough but put off by the idea of babysitting sticky loaves over days, this class will show you a much easier way in.

What will we cover?

In this practical 75-minute session we’ll explore how sourdough works and why it can improve flavour and digestibility. During the class we will:
- Learn the basics of sourdough fermentation and starter care
- See how to mix a simple sourdough flatbread dough
- Roll out and cook flatbreads together
- Taste freshly cooked flatbreads
- Explore ways to customise flatbreads with different flours and flavours
Everyone will get hands-on rolling and cooking their own breads, and will take home some sourdough starter so they can keep experimenting.

Please bring a small jar or plastic container for your sourdough starter.
