Nourish your brain, Cultivate your gut!

The workshop

During this special workshop – held in our circular bakery – we will delve into the topic of brain health and its relationship with nutrition and fermented foods. We will explore the meaning of brain health and the role that nutrition plays in achieving it. Have you ever wondered why sourdough is often touted as a healthier alternative to yeast bread? What is the difference between prebiotica and probiotica, and how are they connected to each other and our brain health?

Throughout this workshop about brain nutrition we will alternate between theoretical and practical sessions. Together we will shape and score natural leavened breads, create probiotic drinks and foods using different forms of fermentation. As Baking Lab is a circular bakery, we will also explain you the ways that we prevent food waste by reusing old bread as an ingredient that makes better bread.

At the end of the workshop you will go home with a sourdough bread, a starter, a bottle of a (to become) fermented drink and a handout of what we think you will need to keep learning and adapting these knowledges and processes into your daily life.

For whom?

This workshop is for people that are interested in learning more about (sourdough) baking and fermentation from a brainhealth perspective and how they can incorporate that knowledge into their lives. We will go into some steps of bread baking and you can ask questions that you have, but we won’t discuss the entire process. If you want to learn about the entire bread baking process, have a look at our other workshops.
