Pumpkin Shaped Sourdough Workshops

Celebrate the beauty of autumn with one of our most anticipated seasonal workshops! Join me at Ghiggeri's on October 2nd or October 16th for a hands-on sourdough experience where bread baking becomes edible art.

Designed for bakers who are ready to build on their sourdough skills, this workshop focuses on transforming fully bulk-fermented dough into a stunning pumpkin-shaped artisan loaf. You'll learn how to laminate your dough, incorporate flavorful inclusions, build strength through proper shaping, and master decorative scoring techniques that create the look of a festive fall pumpkin once baked.

Throughout the class, I'll guide you step-by-step, sharing the techniques and tips I use to create bakery-quality artisan loaves. Whether you're looking to expand your sourdough knowledge, create a beautiful seasonal centerpiece, or simply try something new and creative, you'll leave inspired and confident to recreate these festive loaves at home.

By the end of the workshop, you'll leave with:

• 🎃 One hand-shaped pumpkin sourdough loaf ready to complete its final proof and bake at home
