Sourdough Bread Baking — Sat 13th June | 10:00AM - 1:00PM

Join Mangaroa Farms for Sourdough Bread Baking

An afternoon in the kitchen at Mangaroa with bread master Doris Zuur, who has been baking the slow way for decades. Experience the art of creating rye sourdoughs raised on living starter, wholemeal loaves that rise through an afternoon, hand-plaited Swiss Zopf, focaccia, and fermented buckwheat loaf for those who can't take wheat.

Spend time in our wharekai learning how to mix, knead, plait and bake alongside Doris. Discover how to keep a starter alive, read a dough by touch, and make the small decisions—temperature, time, aroha—that transform simple ingredients into a beautiful loaf.

You'll take home:
- A jar of living starter
- A warm loaf fresh from the oven
- Doris's full recipe collection
- Access to her "0800 bread helpline" for when you need guidance at home

Afternoon tea included. Bring a clean glass jar with lid, an apron, and a willingness to slow down.

We will begin at Sat 13th June | 10:00am at Wharekai - 298 Whitemans Valley Road. Any questions, please email events@mangaroa.org
