Sourdough Bread Class

Curious about sourdough but not sure where to start—or how to keep that starter alive? Join us for a hands-on class at the Modern Stone Age Food Lab that demystifies wild fermentation and gives you the confidence to bake nourishing, gut-friendly bread at home. Learn how to mix, shape, score, and bake your own sourdough loaf using ancestral techniques and 100% wild fermentation. Whether you're brand new to sourdough or just tired of troubleshooting Instagram recipes, this class gives you real skills for real life—plus your own sourdough starter to take home!
