Event Details
Join L'Oven bread baker Abby Love for a hands-on artisan bread making class where you will cover everything fom heritage flours, slow ferments, and working with a natural yeast starter to the basics of kneading, shaping, and baking several different loaves. Understanding a little of the science behind bread-baking improves your chances of making a delicious and successful loaf every time, so plan on taking home some chemistry knowledge as well.
Students will learn the difference between stone-milled and store-bought flours, and have an opportunity to work with freshly milled grains from our own local grain mill, Barton Springs Mill. You'll take home a naturally leavened sourdough loaf, a comercially yeasted (hybrid) sandwich loaf and an additional dough to bake on your own!
Fresh breads and snacks for nibbling will be provided but BYOB is encouraged for prime Sunday afternoon fun. Tickets are non refundable but definitely transferrable up to 5 days before the class date.
This class is for all levels, so don't be intimidated! If you want to make better bread, this is the class for you!
