Learn to make sourdough rye bread from the baker himself! Peter Schumann has been baking bread and giving it out at puppet shows for close to 70 years. For many years he made a Silesian style sourdough rye bread, which he learned from his mother. These past 10 years, he’s been making a sourdough rye pumpernickel, inspired by a traditional Danish bread but uniquely his own recipe. In this class, students will learn the baking process: grinding grain, mixing sourdough, and baking the bread in the outdoor clay oven. They will have ample opportunity to hear and share baking stories, learn about the history of rye, and hear Peter’s sourdough philosophy.
