This workshop is a part of CRAFT’s Maker in Residence program. Chloe Newman, owner of CrustWorthy LLC will be completing a residency during the Winter of 2020.
What is an ancient grain, and why are they so popular today? This 3-hour workshop will go over the many benefits and unique qualities of ancient grains, including Emmer, Kamut, Spelt, and Einkorn. Together we’ll delve into a bit of their histories, clear up some common misconceptions, explore how to source these locally-grown grains, and of course, how to bake some bread! We will go over the mixing, shaping, and baking of a sourdough loaf that features ancient grain flours. Newbies to sourdough-baking are encouraged to join! The workshop will include a tasting of some ancient grain sourdough bread, as well as the opportunity for participants to take home dough and a starter.

Instructor: Chloe J Newman
Chloe first fell in love with sourdough baking in 2016, although she’s always had a deep connection to cooking and the community of food. Naturally-leavened bread has become a strong expression of her overlapping backgrounds in visual art and organic life sciences, as well as her more recent studies in sustainability and local food systems.
In January 2019, Chloe became the founder and baker of Crust Worthy, a small-scale, community-supported baking operation, providing organic-grain, hand-crafted, naturally-leavened bread and specialty baked goods to local areas in Pittsburgh, PA. This winter she'll be a Maker in Residence for Chatham’s Center for Regional Agriculture, Food, and Transformation (CRAFT) where she can continue to develop her craft, expand her business, and engage her communities with sustainable baking.
