Sourdough Special Cookery Day With Dave Buxton

About

Sourdough bread is becoming increasing popular for a variety of reasons. It has a good proportion of firm, crisp crust to soft, light crumb and is full of holes. Easier to digest, as it is made from cultured yeast, plus full of flavour. Known to have health benefits, it contains more vitamins and minerals and is lower in sugars than other breads. All you need is water, flour and salt plus some 'know-how' to make the long, slow fermentation process work.

Your sourdough 'take-home' kit will compromise:
- leaven starter plus care instructions
- loaves
- rolls

As there is quite a of time spent waiting for the dough to prove, you will also make some accompaniments for your bread. These will include:
- houmous
- courgette moutabel

This busy hands-on day will include hot/cold drinks and homemade biscuits/cake. Lunch with wine or a non-alcoholic alternative will be served.
