SOUR DOUGH CLASS
A Wholesome Saturday at Milk & Honey Cooking Studio: Our Sourdough Workshop
This past Saturday, our kitchen at Milk & Honey Cooking Studio was filled with laughter, learning, and the comforting aroma of freshly baked bread as nine lovely ladies joined us for our hands-on Sourdough Workshop.
Together, we spent the morning discovering the magic of slow fermentation — from nurturing the starter to mastering the art of shaping, scoring, and baking the perfect loaf. Under gentle guidance, each participant created her own beautiful sourdough, learning that patience and precision are key ingredients in every successful bake.
But beyond the bread, it was the sense of community that made the day truly special. Conversations flowed as easily as the dough stretched, and new friendships formed over shared stories, cups of coffee, and the joy of creating something from scratch.
By the end of the workshop, each lady left with a starter to continue baking at home, and a heart full of inspiration.
Workshops like these remind us that cooking is more than a skill — it’s a way to slow down, connect, and savour life’s simple pleasures.
Keep an eye on our upcoming events — we can’t wait to welcome more passionate home bakers to our next Milk & Honey Cooking Studio experience!
