Learn the Art of Sourdough Making With Us
Your spot for sourdough bread classes in the Lancaster County area
Whether you’re a beginner eager to learn the basics of sourdough making or an experienced baker looking to refine your skills, our hands-on classes at Seasons Bed & Breakfast offer something for everyone.
Delicious Sourdough Bread Every Time
Our Sourdough Classes aim to provide hands-on practice in creating sourdough bread from scratch. These classes guide each participant through all aspects of sourdough bread—from feeding and maintaining a starter to shaping loaves, scoring, and baking loaves. Participants will be equipped with the practice, information, and nearly all the supplies needed to continue making sourdough at home.
Indulge During Class
No bread-making class is a bread-making class without getting to eat some bread! Each class is finished by enjoying some warm, fresh-baked sourdough with a charcuterie board and drinks.
Take-Home Supplies
Our goal is to help each person understand the sourdough process (and how it's really not as complicated as people make it). We want you to feel equipped to continue making sourdough on your own, so we provide each participant with the following take-home supplies:
- One unbaked loaf (made during class) to be baked the following day
- A proofing basket, liner, and basket cover
- Your very own sourdough starter
- Written instructions from the class with the entire sourdough process, including starter feeding and full sourdough recipe
Learn While You Eat
We always have such a great time during these classes, and they’re a fun way to learn a new skill while enjoying some yummy food. We hope you'll join us! These classes accommodate 3-6 participants and cost $79 per person.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do You Need to Stay at Our Bed & Breakfast to Sign Up?
No! Simply contact us to reserve your spot.
Is it Cheaper to Buy or Make Sourdough?
It’s less expensive to make your own sourdough because you only need a few simple and affordable ingredients for a standard loaf—flour, water, and salt.
However, it’s convenient to buy your loaf of bread when you’re tight on time, are looking for a more involved recipe, or don’t bake frequently.
Why is Sourdough Such a Big Deal?
Sourdough bread is gaining popularity all the time, and it is, first and foremost, a delicious type of bread! As a bonus, it has nutritional benefits and acts as a prebiotic, promoting healthy gut bacteria that support digestion and overall wellness.
How Much Does it Cost to Use a Sourdough Starter?
Sourdough starters range in price but generally come in around $20. This price often includes a well-established starter that’s ready to use immediately for baking, saving you the time and effort of cultivating one from scratch.
How Often Should I Feed a Sourdough Starter?
How often you should feed your sourdough starter depends on how you store it and how active you need it to be for baking. If it’s stored at room temperature, you should feed it once a day. If stored in the refrigerator, you should feed it once a week.
