Starter your engines. Sourdough is at an all-time high for popularity, according to Google Trends, and so is interest in making your own. And yes, it’s somehow even more popular than it was in 2020.
If you’re among those baking their way to some new habits and hobbies via flour and yeast, here are a few ways to get in on the action in Fort Worth.
Conundrum Farms is teaching beginners how to go from no idea to dough idea with their comprehensive class series. There is one happening Saturday, Jan. 25.
There’s also a bunch of class options on Cozymeal, where local accredited bakers offer their expertise. Heads up: These can sell out fast.
For those who prefer to leave their sourdough making to the experts, you can’t go wrong at The Sour Boule, Thyme & Dough Co., or The Village Bakery to find a scrumptious loaf. While you’re there — from our experiences — the apron-laden are usually willing to offer some friendly advice for beginner bakers eager to learn more.
