Cat Shimizu, the "breaducator" from Sour Flour —a Mission District bakery
dedicated to neighborly bread gifting and bread education— will talk about the
art and science of making bread using a sourdough starter.
This includes how to feed and take care of your own starter, and how
different factors such as time, temperature, and starter hydration affect the
fermentation process. And how the fermentation process, using wild yeast and
lactic "good" bacteria, improves the nutritional and storage properties of
bread.
Samples and suggested reading will help get you started on a healthy,
enjoyable and delicious new adventure in baking.
