Learn about sourdough starts at Nash’s

Learn about a simpler approach to handmade bread with sourdough starter at a presentation by Victoria Redhed Miller at 11 a.m. Saturday, July 28, at Nash’s Farm Store, 4681 Sequim-Dungeness Way, in Dungeness,

The talk and demonstration is free and open to the public.

Sourdough starter, activated by wild yeast, can be used for making a lot more than just loaf breads and pizza. Miller, author of the new book “From No-knead to Sourdough: A Simpler Approach to Handmade Bread,” shares how to make and maintain a sourdough starter to take home and use.

Miller will bring sourdough starter that participants may share. It is recommended that everyone bring their own clean jar with a lid to carry their starter home; a wide-mouth, pint-sized Mason jar is ideal.
