Before Jessica Sherrow started Pennyloaf Bread, she was one of the Pantry’s first instructors — and we’re always thrilled to welcome her back for another bread baking workshop. In Advanced Sourdough Bread you’ll learn a scientific and sensory take on sourdough, an approach that will help you make your bakes more consistent, and open the way for more flexibility and creativity. You’ll go deep on topics like crumb structure, gluten and fermentation science, local flours, milling, and working with large dough masses, and you’ll bake your way through a formula written in class. Bonus: you can bring a loaf of bread from your most recent bake, and we’ll discuss and share with the class!

Please note: some classes can be adjusted for students with dietary restrictions, but many cannot. If you’re vegetarian, pescatarian, or gluten-free, you can use the drop-down menu on our events page to view the best classes to fit your needs. If a class you’re interested in doesn’t appear in that filtered view, please email us before registering and we’ll see if the class’s menu can be modified.
