Traditional bread baking is a simple process, involving principally wheat, water, salt and some kind of leavening agent, be it yeast or sourdough ferment.
This is a practical, hands-on course which will cover the following:
- milling and the significance of freshly milled biodynamic/organic flour
- mixing and developing bread dough by hand
- how to establish and maintain a “sweet” sourdough starter
- kneading and shaping techniques on the table
- methods for using wholegrain and lighter flours. We will use wheat flour from our mill
- rising procedures and baking techniques, tricks and tips, especially for the domestic oven
- grains and their significance in the development of human civilisation
Each participant will make 2 doughs to take home to bake with clear instructions. We will bake a prepared dough on the day in a domestic oven to explain the procedure.
Please bring an apron & 2 bowls or bread tins for your doughs.
