Sourdough Bread Baking Workshop — Sat 17th October | 10:00AM - 1:00PM

Join Mangaroa Farms for an afternoon in the kitchen with Doris Zuur, who has been baking the slow way for decades. Rye sourdoughs raised on a living starter, wholemeal loaves that rise through an afternoon, Swiss Zopf plaited by hand, focaccia, and a fermented buckwheat loaf for those who can't eat wheat. Her bread is the kind that fills a house with its smell and a table with quiet conversation. Spend an afternoon with her in our kitchen. You'll mix, knead, plait and bake alongside her. You'll learn how to keep a starter alive, how to read a dough by touch, and the small decisions (temperature, time, gusto) that turn flour and water into a good loaf. You'll leave with: - A jar of living starter to take home - A warm loaf from the oven - Doris's full recipe collection (rye sourdough, wholemeal, Swiss Zopf, fermented buckwheat, focaccia, Oaties) - Her "0800 bread helpline" for when you need a hand at home Afternoon tea included. Bring a clean glass jar with a lid, an apron, and a willingness to slow down. We will begin at Sat 17th October | 10:00am at 298 Whitemans Valley Road (Wharekai/Yurt).
