Introduction to Traditional Sourdough Baking with Aleksandra Moore. We would like to welcome you to our Sourdough Workshop, where our baker Aleksandra will guide you through the whole process of sourdough making. You will learn about: all elements of a healthy sourdough starter culture, mixing dough, shaping methods, recipe interpretation and a guide through baking methods. This workshop is tailored to both beginner and amateurs bakers, who are either keen to learn new skills or develop existing knowledge. Aleksandra began professional baking in 2020, when she opened a home micro bakery, but her passion and love for traditional baking and cooking processes was seeded long before this. She was very influenced by her grandfather and parents, thanks to whom her childhood was full of bee keeping, milling grains, farming, preserving food, cooking and baking.
Aleksandra was born and grew up in Poland in 1979, for her first part of life she learned most important skill in life trust and love to the mother nature. From early age she was fascinated about cooking and baking, her mum Halina, due to her health circumstances stayed at home and nourished her family with cooked dishes from scratch, made soups from own grown vegetables and baked amazing cakes and breads. She taught Aleksandra the importance of food and tradition passed on through generations. Aleksandra’s father taught her priceless foraging knowledge, the love for animals and the forest. " My childhood was full of flavours, large family gatherings, amazing food, laugh, music and life tailored to each season of the year. It was very folky and simple, but rich by any means."
Aleksandra’s wish is to pass her knowledge and share her love of traditional sourdough by running workshops. She is an advocate for Heritage Grain Trust and she is working on her first book Art of Sourdough.
