Franziska will give participants a good insight into the topic of sourdough bread, offer the opportunity to ask questions and hopes to encourage participants to make their own sourdough bread at home. As the sourdough process takes many hours, please be aware that this can’t be a full sourdough class, but a great starting point for future home bakers.
