Mindful Bread Baking part 1

Bread, one of the most basic forms of sustenance that can be so delicious and comforting... And making it yourself in your own kitchen can be so addictive too. That crunchy caramelized, singing crust, moist crumb with irregular holes, aromas wafting from your oven, the anticipation of how it will turn out everytime...  Can't beat that. Going beyond your favorite recipe, what if you could dig a little deeper and learn more about the why's of ingredients and processes used to make bread? In Part 1 of the Mindful Baking series, we get curious about our main ingredients with a focus on flour. We are bakers, so we learn about baker's percentages to better understand recipes and communicate with each other. To top it off, we peek inside our favorite countertop stone-mill and pay a visit to our big stone-mill in the Bakehouse.

This is a technical lecture class meant to enrich your hands-on experience and serve as a foundation for you to build your skills off of. It is full of scientific detail. Great for self identified bread nerds and those just curious about the inner workings of artisan bread making.

*Please Note: This 1st lecture in the Series is being offered in a hybrid format, occurring live simultaneously in-person at BAKE! and virtually via Zoom. When registering, be sure to choose your desired class format (in-person or virtual).
