SUMMARY:Introduction to sourdough baking
DESCRIPTION:This workshop is an introduction to baking with wild yeast to create sourdough bread and baking. We’ll discuss the fundamentals of baking with wild yeasts\, the methods of creating a sourdough starter\, and how to look after it. Sourdough making is a slow process to allow the natural yeasts to work so we’ll have plenty of time to discuss\, taste and ask questions. We’ll look at ingredients and techniques – and how to fit sourdough bread making into your life. \nWe’ll send you instructions on how to make a starter to bring to the workshop so that we can discuss (but don’t worry we’ll have some pre-made starter for you to use). \nWe’ll bake a Sourdough Loaf using our sourdough starter. You’ll use your own starter to create a Sourdough Cake and we’ll make Sourdough Pizza for lunch. \nThe course is suitable for beginners. \nThis is a hands-on cooking class with lots of hand kneading. All dishes made can be taken away and enjoyed at home. \nThis workshop will be led by Jackie Vural\, an enthusiastic cook of many cuisines with a passion for breadmaking. Jackie has worked with Greener Kirkcaldy and loves sharing her skills. \nSome cooking skills are required to enjoy this workshop i.e. basic knife skills. Please bring some containers to take home your food. If you have any dietary requirements or allergies\, or you would like to talk about any of the ingredients we will be using in the workshop\, please let us know when you are booking. \n\n\n\n\nBooking Information\nFull price: £60 \nCouples/Friends (2 people sharing station + ingredients): £80 \nGreener Kirkcaldy members/volunteers: £54 \nConcessions*: £48 \n*Students (full time)\, Senior Citizens (65+)\, eligible benefits (Income Support\, Working Tax Credit\, Income based Jobseeker’s Allowance\, Income based Employment and Support Allowance\, Housing Benefit and Universal Credit).

SUMMARY:Breadmaking - The next step
DESCRIPTION:This course is perfect for anyone who has been on our bread making for beginners’ course or has some experience of making bread at home.  \nIn this fun and informative workshop\, you’ll learn basic recipes to bake your own loaves at home\, and how they can be adapted to create a variety of different types of bread. We’ll look at the ingredients and techniques – and how you can incorporate bread making into your daily life. There will be time to discuss\, taste and compare notes too. In this extended\, 4-hour workshop you will be making from scratch:  \nSpelt and walnut bread: Spelt is an ancient variety of wheat grain (contains gluten) that has a nutty\, tangy flavour. It was a staple food up until medieval times and is growing in popularity again.  \nFocaccia: A flat\, leavened\, oven-baked Italian bread. Soft on the inside with a crispy exterior\, it can be eaten on its own\, sliced and filled\, or topped with your favourite ingredients.  \nItalian-style sundried tomato and herb rolls: Sticking with an Italian theme\, these rolls are infused with classic flavours of Italy\, giving the bread a sweet and vibrant taste.  \nYou’ll leave inspired and ready to experiment at home.  \nThis is a hands-on cooking class with lots of hand kneading. All dishes made can be taken away and enjoyed at home. \nThis workshop will be led by Jackie Vural\, an enthusiastic cook of many cuisines with a passion for breadmaking.
