The Bulgarian Sourdough Pancake Class is a 1.5-hour hands-on cooking class in Sofia, Bulgaria, hosted by a local listed on Expedia. The host's name and years of experience are not given in the listing, so none is stated here. The venue is described as three metro stops from Serdika Metro Station, so it lies outside the central pedestrian core and visitors reach it by Sofia's metro; the full address is provided at booking. During the class, participants make pancakes using a sourdough starter, a technique that links to Bulgarian traditions of fermented and slow-risen dough, and cook them themselves under the host's guidance. The class is a single-dish format, so rather than a multi-stop tasting it focuses on one recipe, with fillings or toppings likely to span both sweet and savoury options depending on the host. The listing includes hands-on sourdough pancake cooking, wine and lemonade; transport and any extra food beyond the pancakes are not included. The price is about EUR 50 (roughly $58) per adult, which is modest compared with longer classes in the city. At 1.5 hours the pace is brisk but relaxed, with time to mix, rest, cook and eat, and the small format suits couples, friends and families. Group size and teaching language are not specified in the listing, so visitors should confirm both when booking. Dietary substitutions are not described. Because sourdough pancakes rely on wheat flour and often on dairy and eggs, guests with gluten, lactose or egg restrictions should contact the host in advance to check whether adaptations are possible. The class suits visitors who want a short, informal cooking experience away from the city centre, and who would like to take a technique home for baking sourdough themselves.
