Sourdough Bread & Pizza Workshops in Pune
A sourdough workshop teaches you to bake with a starter: a living mix of flour and water whose wild yeast and bacteria leaven bread without packaged yeast and give it a gentle tang. These hands-on workshops take place in Pune and are led by local bakers.
Depending on the session, you might start a starter from scratch and learn to feed, store and revive it; mix and fold a dough, shape a loaf and score it before baking; or stretch sourdough pizza bases, top them and bake them hot. Throughout, the focus is on reading fermentation rather than following a clock: how temperature and timing change the rise, the sourness and the open crumb good sourdough is known for. Warm weather, which Pune has for much of the year, speeds fermentation up, so knowing how to adjust timings matters here.
Sourdough suits home bakers who want to move beyond yeasted bread, pizza lovers who want a better base at home, and beginners who want a guided start instead of learning from videos. Each workshop page says what you will make, what is included, the venue and how many seats are left.
Past sessions were hosted in areas including Kharadi.
