Sourdough 101

The Kingsport Parks and Recreation Department is getting in the baking spirit next month by hosting its first-ever Sourdough 101 course.
Sourdough 101 is a hands-on introductory class that covers the basics of maintaining a healthy starter, mixing and fermenting dough, shaping loaves, and achieving that perfect crust and crumb.
So, whether you’re a complete beginner or looking to refine your baking skills, this class will give you the confidence you need to bake delicious-tasting sourdough bread at home.
Sourdough 101 will take place from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on March 8 at the V.O. Dobbins, Sr. Complex (301 Louis Street). The cost of the class is $20 per person.
No equipment is necessary, and all supplies will be provided. Open for participants ages 16 and older.
