Understanding Sourdough Class

From the winners of the Observer Food Monthly “Best Producer” award 2022 comes a five-hour deep dive into everything you need to know about sourdough. Myths busted, skills shared and a great day out on the Suffolk coast.

Pump Street’s journey started with a quest to master the art of making sourdough bread. After a decade of trials, tribulations and many thousands of loaves later - we are finally sharing everything we have learned along the way.

This is the perfect course for someone who has tried baking sourdough at home and wants to understand the process better, allowing them to make delicious bread for themselves, friends and family. That said, no experience is necessary and if you want to start your sourdough journey here then it’s an excellent place to do so.

We will cover everything from grain, flour and fermentation to shaping, proving and baking. A comprehensive course delivered from our bakery on the Suffolk coast with a delicious lunch, copious coffee and fresh pastries.

What to expect:

Through a range of tasks you will delve into the magic of sourdough bread making and we will help you to understand it better. The flavour is the only aspect that should be complex. You will leave with a sourdough starter, two baked loaves, some fermented dough to shape at home, some freshly milled flour and enough knowledge to bake whenever you choose.
