• • • • • Sourdough is a natural leaven that harnesses the power of wild yeasts and other microorganisms to create wholesome bread with delicious flavours. Sourdough is an easy, but experiential method that relies on the judgement of the baker more than precise recipes. In this workshop, you will be introduced to sourdough and learn everything you need to know to make delicious bread at home. Get to know your microorganisms, and then eat ‘em!

Topics covered include maintaining a sourdough culture, step-by-step sourdough breadmaking, troubleshooting, and recommended reading and sources.

Cost: $35 or $25 concession, including a delicious afternoon tea plus samples, notes, and sourdough culture to get you started.

About The Plummery

The Plummery is a small-scale urban permaculture demonstration site. Set on 1/10^th of an acre (about 400 square metres including the house!), caretakers estimate that when the full design is implemented it will produce just about all the salad, herbs, fruit, mushrooms, eggs, honey, water, electricity, and a significant contribution of the vegies consumed by the household, as well as recycling all organic waste on site.
