Are you interested in learning the art of sourdough baking? Join our workshop to discover the entire process, from creating and caring for your own starter (it's easy!) to baking delicious bread. During the session, you'll taste a sample of freshly baked bread and leave with your own small loaf, dough to make another loaf, and a starter to continue baking at home.

Notes:

Please bring a medium (2 quart) bowl, a 12-20 oz jar with lid, and a sturdy stirring spatula. There is a $5 materials fee payable to the instructor.
Fee: $39.00

Unitarian Society of Germantown, 6511 Lincoln Drive

Use 361 W. Johnson St in your GPS. The church is on Lincoln Dr., between Wayne and Hortter, but MALT students need to use the parking lot off Johnson Street between Wayne and Greene Streets and enter the church from the rear of the building. The driveway to the parking lot is on Johnson, right next to the railway bridge, closest to Wayne Ave. It's a long driveway. Park in the last lot and walk up the sidewalk to the 2nd stairway. Walk down the stairs to enter the church. There is a schedule of events posted on this door. That schedule tells you which room you're in. Once inside the church, there is a map on the bulletin board to show where your room is. If the door is locked, please wait until your instructor shows up.

The Route H bus stops less than a block away at Lincoln Drive & Wayne Avenue.
