Explore two heritage bread traditions with Genevieve Bardwell, the nation's leading salt-rising expert and owner of West Virginia's Rising Creek Bakery. Learn the secrets of sourdough, which uses wild yeast, and salt-rising bread—an Appalachian invention from the 1700s that uses wild bacteria instead. See how a master kneads dough to create the perfect texture, tricks for crispy crusts, and the three-stage salt-rising process. Leave with warm bread, mini sourdough loaves to bake at home, 1890s Cripple Creek sourdough starter, and recipes. Demonstration.
