SEQUIM — Victoria Redhead Miller, author of “From No-knead to Sourdough: A Simpler Approach to Handmade Bread,” will present “Make Your Own Sourdough” at two upcoming events at Clallam County libraries.

Miller will provide instruction on making, maintaining and baking with sourdough at 6 p.m. Thursday at the Port Angeles Library, 2210 S. Peabody St., and 1 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 2, at the Sequim Library, 630 N. Sequim Ave.

Sourdough starter, activated by wild yeast, can be used for making a lot more than just loaf breads and pizza. Miller, who lives on a 40-acre off-the-grid farm outside of Sequim, will show that it’s easier to use and keep than one might think.

In her newest book, Miller blends her own journey toward self-reliance with her fascination for traditional homesteading skills and love of good food. Miller’s previous books include “Craft Distilling” and “Pure Poultry.”

Space is limited and registration is required to attend.

Register at www.nols.org or by contacting the Port Angeles or Sequim libraries.

Participants are invited to bring their own pint-sized jars with a wide mouth and a lid; some jars will be provided.

Miller will have copies of her books for sale and signing after each presentation.
