This class is ideal for home bakers, culinary adventurers, or anyone interested in plant-based wellness and fermentation. Whether you’re new to cannabis baking or ready to elevate your sourdough game, this course blends tradition and innovation for a flavorful experience.

Course Description:

Unlock the art and science of cannabis-infused baking with a special focus on artisan bread! This 2-day course is guided by a guest instructor Emily Gogol along with our baking instructor Miyuki Togi. This hands-on class introduces students to the essentials of cannabis infusion and baking techniques, with an emphasis on creating delicious, safe, and consistent edibles. From dosing and decarboxylation to fermentation and flavor development, students will explore how to make a range of edibles that actually tastes great! The production focuses on a variety of yeasted and sourdough breads —from rustic country loaf, bite-size olive fougasse to decadent chocolate bread.

Students will learn:

• Techniques for calculating and controlling edible potency
• How to incorporate cannabis into bread formulas
• Safety, legal considerations, and responsible consumption

Note: All participants must be 21+ and understand local cannabis laws and regulations. Some experience in bread baking is required to enroll, as this class will not cover the baking basics. All cannabis products used in the course contains CBD, not THC. In-class discussion includes how to incorporate THC in baking.
