Spanish Heritage Sourdough Bread Workshop

Mar 1st 2025

• Admission$70.00
• Time10:00 AM to 12:00 PM

Learn the process of creating delicious and healthy sourdough bread from scratch from baker Marea Jenness. This hands-on event will teach attendees everything they need to know about using sourdough starter made with heritage White Sonora Wheat that the Spanish brought to the Presidio around 1640. Participants will prepare the starter, learn how to make dough and how to bake the perfect loaf. White Sonora Wheat All Purpose Flour from Hayden Mills in Gilbert, Arizona, will be used to make the starter. This flour blends White Sonora wheat with high-protein bread flour to produce loaves with a sweet and creamy texture.


This event is a great opportunity to meet fellow bread enthusiasts, ask questions, and hone baking skills. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned baker, this workshop is perfect for anyone looking to master the art of sourdough bread making.


Attendees will go home with a jar of sourdough starter and a loaf of sourdough bread to bake in their own kitchen, as well as a recipe for maintaining the sourdough starter.
