Ben Campbell is the co-owner and head baker of Ben’s Bread in the Phinney Ridge neighborhood of Seattle. Prior to opening his entremely busy bakery, Ben did a series of pop-ups around town, creating a loyal clientele for his signature sourdough bread and sourdough English muffins.
Join us on the farm in August as Ben walks us through the sourdough bread process from start to finish. He will take us through the steps needed to maintain a healthy sourdough starter as well as proper ways to mix and form loaves. We will bake off loaves of fresh sourdough bread both in the standard gas oven but also in the wood fired oven at the farm to compare the finished loaves. There will be lots of fresh baked bread as well as lunch sandwiches made from sourdough English muffins.
Everyone will go home with a container of starter to begin their own bread as well of a loaf of the bread that we produce together. Ben is an excellent teacher and if you want to improve your sourdough bread game, this is the class to attend.
