Sandwich Sourdough: The Technique of Tangzhong – In each class, you’ll learn the art of sourdough, explore the health benefits of lactobacillus, and leave with dough ready for the oven plus your own starter to keep the magic going at home. To add to the fun of this class and elevate your sourdough bread. You will learn the technique of Tangzhong. This is a method that involves precooking a portion of the flour and liquid (either water or milk) from a bread recipe to create a thick, gel-like mixture. This precooking step gelatinizes the starches in the flour, allowing them to absorb and retain significantly more moisture than they would in their raw state.
