Sourdough Breadmaking

Do you have dreams of baking (and eating!) the perfect loaf of bread with deep flavor, open crumb, and a serious crust?

Back in October of 2019, we hosted an amazing workshop with bread master, Brad Allenick. Many have asked to have this class virtually, so we decided to have a permanent post on our blog so you can reference it. The recipe in this video makes two loaves of 30% whole wheat naturally leavened bread. Huge thanks to @alx_mgr_video for putting it together! Check out @forest__butter if you want to see more of Brad’s bread and pizza stuff.
