Sourdough Flatbreads

An easy introduction to sourdough baking.

One of the easiest and most rewarding ways to start baking with sourdough.

Learn how to mix, ferment, shape, and bake flavorful sourdough flatbreads while building confidence with fermentation and dough handling.

About This Class

Not all sourdough starts with a loaf of bread.

In this hands-on class, you’ll learn how to transform a simple sourdough dough into delicious flatbreads that are perfect for everyday meals, family gatherings, and sharing with friends.

Flatbreads are one of the most approachable ways to learn sourdough baking. The process is forgiving, practical, and produces results you can easily recreate at home.

Because we bake at 5,000 feet in Albuquerque, you’ll also learn practical high-altitude techniques that help you achieve consistent results at home.

No prior baking experience is needed.
