The Frugal Fig Sourdough Bread Making Workshop

There’s something special about beginning a sourdough journey—the quiet rhythm of mixing, the patience of waiting, and the reward of pulling a beautifully baked loaf from the oven. Sourdough Gathers were created to bring that experience to life in a warm, welcoming way.

In this hands-on, step-by-step class, you’ll be guided through the entire process with ease and confidence. From the very first feed of your starter to the final shaping of your dough, each moment is designed to help you understand not just the “how,” but the “why” behind sourdough baking.

You’ll learn how to care for and maintain a healthy starter, master the art of mixing and folding, and understand the magic of bulk fermentation. We’ll walk through the importance of shaping, proper proofing, and even the common mistakes to avoid—so you can bake with confidence at home.

Everything you need is provided, so you can simply arrive and enjoy the experience. By the end of the class, you’ll head home with two beautifully prepared loaves ready to bake, along with your own mature starter to continue your journey.

And of course, no sourdough gathering would be complete without sharing in the simple joy of fresh bread—together, we’ll enjoy a delicious tasting to celebrate what you’ve learned. A pour from the taps is also included.
