Cooking with sourdough can be daunting — heck, keeping sourdough alive and happy can seem like a lot but it’s actually really simple and it’s a whole lot of fun. Plus, sourdough is an incredible superfood that will enhance your family’s diet tremendously.

*Note, we use a heritage wheat grain that is pre-hybridized (pre-1950s) for our sourdough that has not been modernized so we can easily digest it without inflammation although I have an autoimmune disease and my daughter has a chronic, hereditary illness. Your starter will also be made with this particular wheat. We make no claims that this sourdough will not cause issues with anyone who is sensitive to gluten.

In this sourdough class you will learn everything I know about sourdough including how to store it, feed it, use the discard, and especially how to cook with it. You’ll also learn the health benefits of cooking with sourdough.
