Sourdough has a reputation for being complicated, and this hands-on class at the Boone Area Library sets out to make it approachable. Guest baker Amanda Fongené leads participants through the fundamentals, from starting and feeding a sourdough starter to mixing dough and following the process through each stage.

Everyone who attends prepares their own sourdough to carry home, so the work done at the library continues in your own kitchen. Amanda also shares tips and techniques for keeping a starter going and baking fresh loaves on your own schedule, which makes this a good fit for curious beginners as well as anyone who has tried sourdough before and wants a clearer picture of how it all fits together.

The session runs two hours in the library's community space on North Mill Street in Birdsboro, a short walk from the center of town. Registration is required and the class is kept small, so signing up early is worthwhile.
