Learn the craft of long-fermented sourdough at Loveland Aleworks with Lori of Little Owl Sourdough. This hands-on class focuses on a slow fermentation method that breaks down gluten and phytic acid for easier digestion, improves absorption of minerals such as magnesium, iron, and zinc, and lowers the glycemic index to support blood sugar management. Naturally occurring prebiotics in sourdough are also highlighted for their role in a healthy gut microbiome. The approach is simple to follow and the starter is low maintenance. Participants will review laminated instructions during class and head home with a fed starter and a loaf they mixed themselves, ready to bake, along with the confidence to keep baking. Beer from Loveland Aleworks will be available for purchase to enjoy during the session. Please bring a 4 quart bowl with a lid. Registration is $60 per person plus Square fees, and payment is required to secure a spot. If attending with a friend, each person needs a separate ticket. Spots are nearly filled. For questions, email Littleowlsourdough@gmail.com.
