Students will learn how to start a sourdough starter with wild yeast,and will learn the science behind sourdough and other things. Students will learn how to use their young starter for pancakes, and a riper starter for a no-knead bread. This instruction can lead to fun family time in the kitchen.
Learning Goals
Week one: Students will see how the starter transforms day-by-day. We will discuss the science behind the sourdough starter and begin one together.
Week two: Students will show their starter and discuss the changes they watched, then watch a demonstration of using the young starter for sourdough pancakes.
Week three: Students will report how their pancakes came out and watch a demonstration of making a no-knead sourdough bread.
Students will be able to see how the starter changes day by day - I'll have examples of each day of feeding the starter.
