WVC to host Sourdough bread baking workshop
Learn various bread-baking basics, tips and tricks for creating and maintaining sourdough bread starters on Thursday, March 19, during this workshop hosted by White Violet Center for Eco-Justice (WVC), a ministry of the Sisters of Providence of Saint Mary-of-the-Woods, Indiana.
The workshop will take place from 6-8:30 p.m., EST, and will be facilitated by Candace Minster.
Candace Minster, who will facilitate the program, said sourdough breads and baked goods are much easier to make than most people realize.
“Sourdough breads are created with a living culture, also known as a starter, which houses millions of naturally-occurring bacteria and yeasts found in water, on flour, in the air and even on our hands,” she said.
Instructions and starters will be discussed during the workshop.
“People can purchase starters or make their own,” Minster said. “As long as a starter is well cared for, it can last indefinitely. There are bakeries that have maintained their starters for hundreds of years.”
Cost is $50, which includes instruction materials and a starter.
