Alice welcomes you to her workshop for two consecutive days to introduce you to sourdough baking in a warm atmosphere and a good smell of bread. This course is an opportunity to discover an artisanal know-how to learn how to make organic, tasty and healthy breads, which differ from yeast breads by their deep aromas and their benefits.

During 2 days you will be guided by Alice, artisan baker. You will alternate moments of theory and practice in order to master the principles of natural sourdough fermentation, the ingredients and the key technical gestures of artisanal baking (kneading, shaping, rounding, baking?).

After explaining how sourdough works, you will make two organic country loaves from A to Z with different fermentation conditions to understand the parameters that vary the taste and structure of the bread. You will also discover the techniques and tricks to create a well-cellularized crumb, which you will apply in the making of sourdough baguettes. You will also learn how to include additional ingredients in your breads (seeds, dried fruits...) while preserving a soft texture. You will then choose your ingredients to make a composite bread of your choice.

During these two intense days, you will also have the opportunity to taste a variety of breads with tea or coffee and home-made kefir. Alice will also prepare a light lunch each day.

You will leave these two days of training with a jar of sourdough, explanatory cards & recipes and all your bakery creations!

Meet Alice

Baker

Alice worked in a large cosmetics company before discovering sourdough baking, first as a hobby and then as a passion that finally became a driving force for changing her career.

She therefore decided to train at the International Bakery School in the South of France, which specialises in artisanal sourdough methods. She launched her first workshops and the pandemic period then led to a real craze for her area of baking.

This was an opportunity for her to create a network and go to the United States to complete her training at the San Francisco Baking Institute. There, she broadened her knowledge and experience in the different leavens and types of bread (special breads and buns).

Back in Belgium in 2021, she passed her baker's exams and then relaunched her workshops with more advanced modules and that's when it all took off!

Always eager to share her hobby, her experience and give everyone the chance to introduce a bit of magic back into their daily life with decent, healthy products, she can't wait to welcome you to her workshop for a unique experience!

Si vous cherchez un cours d'initiation à la boulangerie à base de levain. Si vous en avez assez de rater vos pains et voulez savoir comment vous améliorer. Si vous aimez partager et échanger vos expériences dans la bonne humeur. Si vous êtes un débutant ou un boulanger confirmé, si vous aimez la bonne odeur de cuisson, les croûtes croustillantes et mettre la pain à la pâte. Alors un cours ou un stage chez Matières Premières vous comblera. Alice nous partage son expérience lors d'un parcours parsemé d'ambiance et de bons arômes tout en simplicité et bienveillance. N'hésitez pas, vous ne le regretterez pas.

Super atelier, on y apprend pleins de choses avec une super ambiance. Un beau mélange de pratiques et de théorie (pour comprendre quels gestes sont importants et ce qu'ils apportent au pain). Un merveilleux moment passé avec Alice et le groupe. J'ai hâte de mettre en pratique à la maison

J'étais venue pour apprendre à faire du pain et suis repartie avec tellement plus ! J’ai rencontré Alice avec son professionnalisme et passion ainsi que son accueil bienveillant qui nous met tout de suite à l’aise. Merci pour cette belle transmission qui va plus loin que juste faire du pain, elle contribue à un monde meilleur. Cet atelier est « bon comme le pain »…
