Sourdough Workshop

Would you love to bake great sourdough at home?

I'm Autumn, founder of Little Bird Bakehouse. I previously ran a small sourdough micro-bakery here in Pirton, baking thousands of loaves for local customers and supplying local gastropubs.

Now I'd love to share what I've learned with you.

Join me for a relaxed, friendly and practical hands-on workshop where I'll guide you through the process of making beautiful sourdough bread from scratch.

Whether you're a complete beginner or you've already had a go at sourdough but can't quite get the results you're hoping for, this workshop is for you.

We'll cover everything from looking after your starter to mixing, folding, shaping and scoring your dough. Most importantly, I'll teach you how to recognise what your dough is telling you, so you can bake with confidence rather than relying on rigid timings.

You'll take home:

• Your own shaped sourdough loaf, ready to bake at home
• A mature sourdough starter
• A banneton (proving basket)
• A scoring blade
• A recipe, practical guidance and the confidence to bake sourdough in your own kitchen

There'll also be freshly baked sourdough to enjoy, delicious nibbles, tea and coffee, and plenty of time for questions.
