Class Description
Join Executive Pastry Chef Catie Wiley for an unforgettable journey into the world of Sourdough Bread-making! In this hands-on class you will be guided by Executive Pastry Chef Catie Wiley, who joins us after a distinguished career as a pastry chef at several iconic patisseries and restaurants on the East Coast.

Discover the magic of Sourdough in this hands-on baking class designed for home bakers of all skill levels. Learn how to create and care for your own Sourdough Starter, master the art of kneading and shaping dough, and baking rustic loaves with that perfect tangy flavor and crispy crust.

We'll explore the best equipment to help your sourdough reach perfection including use a bread lame and banneton, a digital scale and bench scraper. You will take your bread dough home to bake. Leave with confidence, recipes, and your own starter to continue baking at home. Whether you're a sourdough enthusiast or a complete beginner, this class will turn you into a true artisan baker!

Please Note: 
Sourdough Bread Dough will be mixed in class (1:00pm - 4:00pm) and "bulk ferment" at room temperature until about 8:00pm. Loaf will need to be shaped Saturday night after class and refrigerated. Loaf can be baked on Sunday or Monday.

About Our Shared Cooking Experience
One of the things that makes our classes special is the community we build around every workstation. For most classes, each cooking workstation accommodates four people, and we thoughtfully pair individuals and couples together to create a collaborative, social experience. Over the years, we've watched countless friendships form over chopped vegetables and simmering sauces.

Most guests find that cooking alongside new people adds to the fun and creates unexpected connections. Whether you're signing up solo, with friends, or as a couple, you'll likely share your workstation with others who are just as excited to learn, laugh, and enjoy a great meal together. Please note that if you registered with other people on the same order, you will automatically be seated together. If you signed up as a party of four, you will automatically have your own workstation for most classes. If you'd like to sit with another registered guest and you haven't booked your seats together, please let us know in the "Comments" section when you sign up, and you will be seated together and placed at the same workstation.

We understand if you'd prefer a more intimate experience with just your own group. If you'd like to reserve an entire workstation for your party, simply purchase four spots and you will be given your own private workstation in most of our classes. This guarantees your group will have the space to yourselves. Please note that a few of our classes have six people per workstation. These include our Sourdough, Sushi, and Tamale-making classes. Questions about our class format? Feel free to reach out—we're happy to help you find the perfect cooking experience!

Dietary Restrictions & Allergies
If you have dietary restrictions or food allergies, you must call 913-341-4455 before registering so we can discuss if a class is appropriate for your allergen issues. We’re happy to find a class for your needs if we cannot reasonably accommodate an allergen restriction.

• We are not a nut-free facility and cannot guarantee an allergen-free environment.
• Some dietary restrictions may be challenging to accommodate depending on the class menu. Many chefs must prep and portion ingredients and demonstrated dishes and substitutions are not an option.

Our team is committed to making your experience as inclusive as possible, but we want to be upfront about our limitations. The more notice you give us, the better we can prepare. When in doubt, please reach out—we're here to help you determine if a particular class is the right fit.
