Online baking course “ALIVE BREAD”. Group three.

Maria Kalenska Online Cooking School invites you to a sourdough baking course with a Slovak baker and cookbook author @my.ko.la

Dear Friends! We want to teach you to bake bread. Real, sourdough, as our grandmothers baked. The bread that will live in your home. The bread that will become a family tradition. The bread that will create warmth and comfort at your home.

You definitely will learn how to bake bread, because Mykola is sure that anyone can learn it! We explain each step in a simple way. Together we create a starter for sourdough and teach you how to look after it. You learn the whole process of making sourdough bread and you understand that it is easy. We bake bread, baguettes, buns. We crunch a fragrant crust in the morning, cutting a freshly baked loaf. You constantly be in touch with a professional baker who will answer your questions and tell you the secrets of working with sourdough.

Last year has taught us to be different. It does not mean “worse”. We take a step forward, become better, learn new things, learn to bake tasty and healthy bread. Yes, useful! We immerse you in the world of bread, provide a lot of information about bread, including its benefits. We arrange a meeting with a nutritionist who will answer your questions and tell you why sourdough bread should be eaten.
