Taking place in our restaurant, this small, hands-on masterclass is perfect for beginners, as well as those wishing to improve their bread-making skills. (Advanced sourdough bakers should see our Advanced Sourdough course on 20th March).

Award-winning Head Chef Matthew Briddon will teach you all you ‘knead’ to know about getting started, or improving your sourdough game.

The day includes refreshments, a delicious lunch in Iford Manor Kitchen’s restaurant and all materials and ingredients required for the course.

You will learn how to:

- start and care for a sourdough mother;
- make a simple, white sourdough loaf;
- make olive bread;
- conjure up sourdough dough balls (perfect for Saturday night pizza!);
- use up leftover mother to make sourdough crackers (for cheese & crackers); and
- Tips and tricks for kneading, shaping, scoring and baking.

Take home with you:
- Iford sourdough starter for you to use and look after at home;
- 4 sourdough recipes; and
- your own loaf of sourdough made by you on the day
