Learn How to Bake 100% Whole Grain, Organic, Sourdough Bread!

BREAD CULTURE is BACK and READY to empower you to bake! Please join us for a BREAD BAKING class at FOOD + SHELTER in Highland Park. You will have a hands-on opportunity to get elbow deep in dough -- from dry flour to baked loaf. It will be really fun, messy (in a good way), and super educational all at once!

Sign up early! We only have twelve spots available and this class tends to fill up within a week or two of posting. Feel free to email me to get on the wait list if the class is already full. 

In this class you will learn the basics. It is geared towards beginner bread bakers, but can also help those who have had some experience.

************************************************************************************************

What will I learn?

* A step by step tutorial of how to mix whole grain dough (What's the big deal with whole grains anyway?).

* What is sourdough and how can I make my own starter (and keep it alive!)?

* Learn how to shape, fold, and proof your loaf of bread (we will get sticky and messy, and that's ok!).

* How can I bake a great loaf of bread in just my home oven (don't I need a ton of time and something fancy?)?

* Learn the nutritional aspects of making bread at home with whole grains and why it is so important -- they are full of vitamins and minerals. And baking sourdough with whole grains won't make you gain weight. When they are given the right time to ferment, they can actually help you lose weight and are not inflammatory. Learn how this sourdough bread is "gluten friendly" too!

FAQs

Are there ID or minimum age requirements to enter the event?

13 and up please. Kids from 13-18 need to be accompanied by an adult. We teach separate kid classes too, so feel free to email us if you would like to set something up. cultureyourbread@gmail.com

What are my transportation/parking options for getting to and from the event?

Park on Hamlet Street or Figueroa Street. Get there a few minutes early if you can because parking can be tricky. Driving is best, since the closest metro is about a 10 minute drive.

What can I bring into the event?

Please bring a glass or metal or large plastic bowl to transport your dough home after the class. You are welcome to bring an apron, but it isn't essential. We supply all other props and mixing bowls for the duration of class.
