Join us for this special guest chef series class on Sour Dough Bread and learn everything you ever wanted to know about making bread & creating your own sour dough starter. In this class, Joe Pierce from Mosswood Farm Store & Bakehouse joins us. Some of you might know Joe from his Micanopy store or as one of the bread vendors at a few of the local farmers markets here in town. He is a local activist for growers and has been baking his Organic Artisan Sourdough breads and perfecting the techniques needed to adapt to our particular climate here in the South for over 16 years. His coffee & bakehouse is located in Micanopy; only a short drive from Gainesville, where he still uses his brick wood fired oven he built from scratch for his breads. Join us for a full day of learning about sour dough bread, the art of making starters in our climate, the techniques and tips and tricks for forming and baking and more. Each student will receive a Sour Dough Starter to take home and work with for future breads as well as make & bake a full bread during the class. The class consists of some observation and some hands-on to learn cooking techniques. All ingredients will be provided by Fat Tuscan. Aprons are recommended and note taking is encouraged. $95.00 per person, includes all ingredients, class instruction, samples of all items created in class, and snacks and beverages to enjoy during the class. Recipes will be discussed in class as well but note taking is encouraged.
