And they were offering a class on Breadbaking by a well-known local blogger, Erik Knutzen, of Root Simple, who is also a Master Food Preserver from Los Angeles. I really wanted to learn more about bread and to meet another MFP.
The class was attended by about at least a dozen people. Erik did a great job of explaining all of the steps and reasons behind the recipe. Each person was able to get their hands dirty, or at least floury, making a batch of dough to take home. Following the directions and lessons learned in class, I made the loaf above. I baked it in my Le Creuset enamel pot after my husband replaced the knob with a ceramic one to withstand the 475° needed to bake a beautiful loaf.
And I did it again on Thursday!
Great to meet you at the bread baking class Cinda!
Thank you so much for the jar of your kumkwat marmalade!
It was amazing…like sunshine in a jar! Was looking at canning supplies today. I would like to take a class soon in basic jam canning!
