  Viking Artisan Breads I Workshop

  Fri 05/31, Sun 07/21

  Any enthusiastic bread baker (all bread bakers are enthusiastic) will tell you that bread making is nothing more than a series of steps executed in a systematic order. Practice, and it will become second nature to you.
  
  Lots of people believe that baking bread takes a lot of time, and yes, yeast loaves do take several hours from start to finish. But most of that time is occupied in the dough rising; your work involves just minutes of easily mastered techniques. It?s fun to do on a leisurely weekend afternoon, when you have other things to do around the house. Bread making is deceptively simple and extremely satisfying - and one of the most tantalizing aromas is that of a freshly baked loaf straight from the oven.
