Your teachers will be either Piroska Toth or Sam Siegel. Piroska Toth is a native of Hungary and has been an enthusiastic home baker for 35 years and a sourdough bread baker for over 14 years. She is eager to share her sourdough starter and her experience with you all! Sam Siegel was a cheesemaking apprentice at Cherry Grove Farm, has a degree in Baking and Pastry Arts from the Culinary Institute of America, and has built upon his experience at Sourland Bread to establish himself as an artisan bread baker in Central & Southern NJ.

In this workshop you will have a hands-on opportunity to get elbow deep in dough — from dry flour to baked loaf. It will be fun and educational all at once! It is geared towards beginner bread bakers, but can also help those who have had some experience.
