[Artemisia] Hearthwarming Update

[Aghren the Brus]

Una, or rather Phaedra, or both of you if I am seeing double - I guess the first part of the class starts with this - timing the bread to be done at dinner time.

I am going to assume dinner will be at 6-ish. Counting this out, I start the sponge to rise and let it go for about 3 hours depending on ambient temperature. I will work it into dough (about a 1/2 hour depending on how much I talk). In about 2+ hours we should have dough to put into the pans (Dutch ovens this time) and an hour later we will have it risen in the pans ready to bake. I am going to figure 1 hour for baking time to be safe - it shouldn't take that long though.

Add it all up and I should start the process at 1000 hrs (notice i added a 1/2 hour in there for 'cause its better to be early with the bread than serve dough). If dinner is at 1800 then we start class at 1000. (I did that on a cheat-sheet btw.)

The three hours while the sponge grows would be a good time for your class (therefore you starting at 1030 would work great for the dough). 

The next step on the dough would be at 1300, when I actually make the sponge into something tangible. What do we want? Some Feta or some Toasted Garlic/Rosemary with whole wheat? Onion? Dill? Maybe a loaf of each? (are ya hungery yet?)

 

That is the first part of the class and you're all invited to join in.

 

YIS,

The Happy Baker, aka Aggie

 

PS> if dinner is planned a bit later its all good, we will just drag our feet ;-)
