Rye sourdough bread workshop

Join us for a special bread workshop where you will learn how to make rye sourdough bread. Baker Raimonds will share his knowledge and experience, and you will also find out which European king enjoyed Grauda Spēks rye bread.

Programme

At the workshop, you will:

shape your own loaf (about 800 g) from a classic wholegrain rye sourdough dough prepared in advance
put it in the oven and follow the baking process
make your own dough from scratch with us, step by step, learning all the tips and details

We will share our tips on:

caring for a sourdough starter
getting the right dough consistency and feel
proofing times and their effect on flavour
baking techniques for excellent results

What you will take home

your prepared dough, ready to bake at home the next morning
the knowledge and confidence to keep baking on your own

Why this workshop is special

Rye bread takes time, patience and knowledge. You will learn more than a recipe: you will learn to understand the dough, when it is ready, what it needs and how to achieve the flavour you want.
