Description

Sourdough describes many types of yeast that are actually fungal crops. At the seminar, all categories will be separated from each other (Sourdough, Biga, Poolish, Sponge, Pate Fermante) and their characteristics, attributes and uses will be analyzed. In addition, all stages of the baking process (kneading, ripening, molding, baking) will be analyzed in details. Emphasis will be given on the excellent raw materials, the careful appearance of the products, the details, the techniques that will ensure production stability and the theoretical background that a baker should have, so that he knows "the why" behind every technique it can evolve. Finally, new recipes for Greece will be presented that will stimulate interest.

In addition, they will know in detail all the stages of baking and will also have the background to support a production based production on sourdoughs. .
