sourdough classes<\/a> where participants can learn the process from start to finish.<\/p>\n\u201cI started my sourdough classes because I fell in love with baking and wanted to make sourdough feel less intimidating and more fun,\u201d Zwaan said. \u201cIn class, I teach you the basics of feeding and maintaining your starter, plus tips and techniques while we make a loaf together.\u201d<\/p>\n
And this isn’t a class where you simply sit back and watch someone else bake.<\/p>\n
Participants get hands-on experience mixing their dough, learning how to care for a sourdough starter and making their own loaf. Zwaan and her mother, Lisa Watson, guide bakers through the process and share tips they can use when they head back to their own kitchens.<\/p>\n
There is also plenty to enjoy while the dough is doing its thing.<\/p>\n
The class includes a small personalized charcuterie board and a beverage from Penny\u2019s Coffee Bar, making it part baking lesson and part laid-back morning experience.<\/p>\n
For Zwaan, the goal is to keep things simple.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s very hands-on and laid-back with snacks and coffee as well. There are no crazy \u2018rules.\u2019 I\u2019m just there to guide you, have fun and help you feel confident baking at home,\u201d Zwaan said.<\/p>\n
