Workshop facilitated by Jayne Harris, from Pure Grain Sourdough Warrnambool

Jayne was inspired to learn about sourdough bread after experiencing chronic digestive issues.  

After experimenting with different flours and methods, Jayne now uses Spelt and a little bit of Wholegrain Rye and a slow fermentation method. Her bread making skills are tailored to people wanting a health-giving loaf that tastes delicious.
