In this hands-on workshop, we'll explore the art of incorporating wholesome grains, sprouts, and porridges into bread doughs. Rather than relying on artificial additives, we'll delve into natural, flavor-packed ingredients that can elevate the texture, aroma, and nutritional profile of your homemade breads.
Topics covered will include:
- Toasting and cooking grains (e.g. polenta from dried corn, oat porridge, bran scalds)
- The benefits of sprouting grains and seeds
- Techniques for milling, mixing, and incorporating these ingredients into your dough
Participants will have the opportunity to get hands-on experience with the milling, toasting, and mixing processes. Throughout the class, we'll leave ample time for questions and discussion, drawing on the collective knowledge and experiences of the group.
As a highlight, you'll have the chance to taste a variety of breads that showcase the delicious results of these grain-based additions. Prepare to be inspired and equipped with new skills to take your bread baking to the next level!
