Need some more dough?

Need some more dough?

I did, so here's how I got it I signed up for Russell's Bread Baking Class!

Russell talks bread

Russell's Breads are available at select farmers markets in our area and during the week if you sign up for his emails. That's how I learned about the class he was giving. So, me and 7 other lucky people got to spend an afternoon with Russell and Lisa (of LCC fame).

Bread Essentials

Russell bakes in a wood-fired brick oven. He showed us the difference it makes by cooking a couple of our loaves from the class in a standard electric oven. I'm a convert! The brick and wood makes such a nice difference in the color and texture.

In our class, we started the dough forming and kneading from dough he'd already prepared. The bread we made is known as "naan". While that cooked and cooled, we mixed up our own dough to take home and cook.

Russell and Lisa provided samples of different bread types. It was interesting to see, and fun to taste, the results of the different flours (hard, soft, rye) and the bread textures.

I like the idea of "breaking bread together" as some symbol of friendship, and making bread together and then breaking it with my fellow cooks was very special.
