What is a Sourdough Workshop?

Loaf Lab equips you with a 3 hours interactive experience from which you’ll leave with:

Complete understanding of the sourdough bread baking process,
A shaped loaf of sourdough ready for baking at home,
All tools to make sourdough on your own, including a starter, and
A full stomach of bread and hearty, cheesy and vegan bites!

1) Sourdough Tasting

Start your journey by tasting a variety of freshly baked sourdough delights— wheat and rye breads, focaccia, and crisp crackers—accompanied with dips and wine. I often include a special loaf, be it my signature matcha-white chocolate or the spicy jalapeño-cheese loaf, there’s alway a pleasant surprise awaiting for you!

2) Mixing the Dough

Roll up your sleeves! I help you mix your own dough from scratch. You’ll learn the easies techniques of mixing the dough and understanding the feel of a well-prepared sourdough with minimum effort.

3) Sourdough Science Explained

While the dough rests, we dive into the sourdough science: from feeding your starter to the magic of fermentation and all the steps involved up to baking. Bring on all your questions!

4) Shaping the Dough

We’ll shape our doughs together, practicing techniques that will give your bread it’s final structure. Your shaped dough is now ready to go home with you. Let it rest at room temperature for a few hours, and optionally a night in the fridge, before you can finally bake it.

5) Bake a perfect loaf of Bread

You’ll go home with your shaped sourdough and the essentials you need to continue your sourdough journey on your own. I’ll create a WhatsApp group to offer ongoing support, answer questions, and share photos as you continue experimenting with sourdough at home.

I’ve worked with some of the best teams 🍞❤️.

“The workshop was absolutely delightful! Having a generous charcuterie plate with slices of homemade bread was a nice motivational start to the event, and all the following bread-baking learning steps were well-timed and well-organized, with plenty of time for questions, fun facts, and a helping of white wine. Everything we learned was provided in a document that included all the details, allowing us to continue the bread-baking journey on our own.”

“Anastasia’s sourdough workshop was absolutely exceptional! I had never baked bread before so this was an entirely new experience and I thought it would be complicated and scary. Anastasia broke down the process step by step while sharing detailed tips and tricks, making sure to give handouts so we do not forget the steps. She truly did everything so wonderfully, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Would highly recommend to anyone considering booking a fun workshop with their loved ones or as a team fostering event like she did for ours!”

You can feel Anastasia’s passion for baking in every step, from feeding the starter to experimenting with different recipes. Her sourdough guide has been invaluable, allowing me to bake delicious bread anytime and even enabling me to vary the recipes on my own. Highly recommend Anastasia’s course to anyone looking to dive into sourdough baking!”

“My engineering team had an incredible experience at the sourdough workshop! The session was impressively organized, with every detail covered to ensure we learned the art of baking from start to finish. The atmosphere was fun and engaging. Secret Tip: Best of all, we now regularly get freshly baked loaves of bread to the office! Highly recommend this workshop for a unique and delicious team-building experience, especially for engineers!”
