Let’s Get Doughy
Are you wanting to get started with sourdough, but don’t know where to start? Or, have you already started, but are struggling with the process?
When you book a public or private event, Laura from Chiliwist & Raw will guide you through gaining the knowledge and skills on how to successfully feed and maintain a sourdough starter as well as learn the process of how to prepare a mouth-watering artisan sourdough boule from start to finish.
We will learn sourdough with hands-on methods and you will leave with confidence that you will be able to bake a simple loaf of bread using artisan skills all on your own!
Students will have their own personal notebook and pencil to take notes with throughout the event as well as a recipe card to take home. Depending on the venue, you will also be able to bake your boule right then and there to slice into or have the option to take home your boule to bake on your own!
Additionally, you will take home your own jar of starter to bake sourdough with in the future.
Enjoy an evening of fun with friends or host an event to invite others to!
If you would like to book a private event or are a business/venue or would like to use a venue to host your private event, please contact Laura to discuss details and get a more accurate price.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What do I need to bring with me to this event?
A: Nothing! This is a grab and go event. Meaning show up, grab your apron and have an enjoyable evening with friends or a girl’s night out where you learn a useful and fun skill! Hosts will typically provide refreshments and appetizers, but that’s up to you! You will also have your own personal notepad and pencil to take notes with and keep.
Q: Will we actually be baking at this event?
A: Our typical events involve you bringing home your boule and baking it yourself, but it depends! If you book a private event and have access to an oven, then YES. Or, if you have a public venue in mind and they have an oven we can use, then YES. Please message admin@chiliwistandraw.com to discuss details. Or reach out on social media!
Q: How long will this workshop be?
A: I aim for events to be about 2 hours, but play it by ear. I like to dedicate one-on-one time with each student throughout the process, so this may mean more or less time depending on how the class goes.
Q: What if I have more questions?
A. Feel free to contact me with any and all questions via social media or through email at admin@chiliwistandraw.com.
Hey there… I can’t remember what to feed my starter. I also need to know what kind of flour You were offering to during class. I was at the Watermill winery class in East Wenatchee
Hi Kris! So sorry about the late response. You can feed your starter all-purpose flour, that’s totally fine. No need to feed the expensive stuff. Just make sure whatever you use is unbleached. The flour we used at the class is Bluebird Grain Farms Hard White Pasayten.
Hi Laura. My name is Cathy Madsen. I was at the sourdough baking class last night in Chelan. I accidentally left my tan sweater there and was wondering if you might’ve picked it up or if I need to contact the winery. I loved the class still feel a little nervous, but going to go ahead and try. Thanks.
Hey there, Cathy! Thanks for reaching out and yes, I did see your sweater there and notified the staff. If you ask Lisa, the event coordinator, she should be able to help you! Cheers, Laura.
I have been making sourdough bread for several months mostly using your website as a reference. I am considering taking your class to try to smooth some of my rough edges so to speak. I have not been able to find the class fee. Would you please send me how much the class cost.
Thank you.
