Baking with Local Wheat (NEW! NOFA-VT Summer Workshop Series Event)

NEW!

Co-hosted by City Market, NOFA Vermont, and Red Hen Baking Company

Flour bins are filling up with the 2010 harvest of Vermont’s wheat. Whole wheat, white, pastry, bread, and even ‘bolted’ flour can now be found from local sources. Baker Randy George from Red Hen Baking Company will join us to discuss the best uses of these local flours. We’ll get a hands-on lesson in dough hydration and folding (rather than kneading) methods and then we’ll bake up our doughs in NOFA Vermont’s fabulous wood-fired oven.

The workshop is free. Please register at the City Market Customer Service desk or contact 861-9753, mklepack@citymarket.coop.
