Fall Pumpkin Sourdough Shaping Workshop at Ghiggeri's

Bring your sourdough skills to the next level and create a beautiful seasonal masterpiece in this hands-on fall workshop! Join me at Ghiggeri's on October 2nd or October 16th for an afternoon dedicated to the art of shaping, scoring, and transforming sourdough into a stunning pumpkin-inspired loaf.

This workshop is designed for bakers who have a basic understanding of sourdough and are ready to explore more advanced techniques. We'll be working with fully bulk-fermented dough as you learn how to laminate your dough, incorporate inclusions, strengthen your loaf through shaping, and use decorative scoring techniques to create a one-of-a-kind pumpkin design.

Together, we'll turn a simple loaf of sourdough into an edible piece of fall art while learning the skills behind beautiful artisan bread. You'll receive hands-on guidance throughout the process, along with tips and techniques that you can continue using in your own kitchen.
