Starter care
Feed, maintain, and read your sourdough starter so you know when it is strong enough to bake.
Join Eat Well ABQ for a beginner-friendly, hands-on sourdough bread-making class in Albuquerque. Learn starter care, mixing, fermentation, shaping, scoring, baking, and the high-desert adjustments that help New Mexico home bakers succeed.
Chef Evangalene takes the mystery out of sourdough by teaching the visual and tactile cues behind the process—not just handing you another bread recipe and sending you home.
You will work through the beginner problems that matter most: sluggish starter, sticky dough, weak structure, fermentation timing, shaping, scoring, flat loaves, and baking in Albuquerque’s dry high-desert climate.
