Savory Breads with Maureen Hark

Registration Deadline: February 3, 2018
Location: Milan Community Center.
The humble loaf of freshly baked bread has been a staple of the American family since pioneer days. Given the additives found in modern commercial breads, the resurgence of home-baked, nutritious bread made with wholesome ingredients has again become popular. Baking quality bread is a skill everyone should learn and is easier than you think. Using a simple no knead bread recipe we will make foccacia and other savory breads using local and easily found ingredients. This recipe can be mixed up ahead of time and kept in the refrigerator ready to use. Participants will go home with several samples of fresh baked bread and a batch of dough to experiment with. Bring an apron and your favorite bread bowl!
Tuition: $60 Includes the tuition and supply fee
