Are you on the side of the internet where everyone is making their food from scratch? I don’t think I’ll ever be on that level, but learning to make sourdough seems like a more attainable goal. If you’re on a similar journey, here’s a spotlight on local classes and sourdough makers.

This immersive workshop in Draper will teach you the ins and outs of sourdough, beginning with the starter (a very good place to start) and ending with fresh bread and enough dough to make two loaves.

I first found Abigail’s Oven bread at the Salt Lake Farmers Market. After sampling a morsel, I took one lap around the market and circled back to buy a loaf of the jalapeño cheddar. They offer free virtual sourdough classes taught by Abigail herself. You can pick up a free starter at their bakery in Spanish Fork.

Book a private class with Scott by sending a message on Instagram. It’s a great activity to do with a gaggle of friends.

While breadmaking is fun, we’re not all trying to be Ballerina Farm out here. In that case, buy your loaves from these talented local dough slingers.
