"I am going to learn to make bread tomorrow. So you may imagine me with my sleeves rolled up, mixing flour, milk, saleratus, etc., with a deal of grace. I advise you if you don't know how to make the staff of life to learn with dispatch."
- Emily Dickinson
Introduction to Rustic Artisan Breads
This is a bread class for students who want to move beyond the basics. Because of the nature of this class, some previous experience with yeast-risen breads is essential. We will cover advanced topics such as using a pre-ferment (i.e. biga and poolish), how to handle wet dough, and hearth baking. This is a “participation type” course, and each student will take home a bread fresh-from-the-oven.1 session
"Since I took your sourdough bread class this past fall, I've gone through 30 pounds of bread flour and have hooked my husband and son on that amazing bread. Great class!"
