The courses take place with a maximum of ten people in a quiet, informal atmosphere. There is food, drinks and plenty of room for questions, sharing experiences and individual discussions.
Course schedule:
1) Prepare bread: Prepare the dough for your own bread. You will learn which steps are necessary, how long they take and what happens in the dough. When do you knead the dough, how long should the sourdough rest in between, when do you shape the bread from the dough?
2) Interesting facts about flour: Get to know different types of flour. What do the numbers on the packets mean? What types of grain can be used and how do they differ?
3) Interesting facts about sourdough bread and why it is particularly healthy: While the dough is rising, you will learn what makes a sourdough. Which microorganisms provide the high nutritional and health value and why sourdough bread tastes so aromatic. Why you can do without the many additives in industrial bread and what else there is to know about sourdough and its history.
4) Care and use of your own sourdough: You are welcome to take some sourdough home with you on the course. We will explain to you what your new "roommate" needs for a long life and how you can ensure that it stays strong.
5) Bake bread: In the afternoon, the time has come to put the loaves in the oven and bake them. In this step, you will find out what is important and what you need to bear in mind and how crusty loaves of bread come out of normal household ovens.
6) Make spreads: In the time while the bread is rising or baking, various spreads are made. Depending on the season, herbs harvested from the garden or during a short walk in nature are also used.
7) Bread tasting/sitting together: The course concludes with a communal evening meal; not only will a small loaf of bread be baked for all participants* to take home, but bread will also be baked for everyone to taste together. You can enjoy the warm bread with delicious, freshly made herb butter, herb quark or other spreads. There is also sausage from the Oderbruch region and cheese. The participants round off the day with a glass of red or white wine, beer or juice.
A walk through the Altfriedland lake and pond landscape is worthwhile for digestion or the next morning. As a European bird sanctuary, the waters are the easternmost part of the Märkische Schweiz Nature Park. Especially in fall and spring, thousands of migratory birds such as wild geese and cranes can be observed there.
Overnight stay: As a participant before or after the baking course, you can spend the night in the separate accommodation of the Landpraxis or in one of the cozy wagons in the garden. There are also overnight accommodations or vacation apartments in the village. Please ask for the modalities by mail.
