** THIS IS A FLEX CLASS AND DOES NOT HAVE LIVE MEETINGS **

Students will learn to make many different kinds of bread, including white bread, wheat bread, cinnamon swirl bread, breadsticks, rolls, pumpkin bread, banana bread, zucchini bread and cinnamon rolls. 

During the first class, learners will be taught how to make delicious homemade wheat bread. While we work, we will talk about the different techniques used to make bread, as well as how using different kinds of flour can change the outcome of the bread.  The second class will talk about how to modify a recipe to make it suit our own wants and needs by making white bread and cinnamon swirl bread using the basic recipe for wheat bread learned in the first class. 

During the following weeks, students will learn how to make sweet breads, rolls, breadsticks, and cinnamon rolls. We will talk about changing some of the recipes by adding or removing ingredients such as raisins, nuts, or chocolate chips. Once learners see how easy it is to make some delicious baked goods, they will want to make them often!

Videos for each step of the bread-making process will be shown to help the learners easily follow along while making their baked goods.  A list and photos of ingredients and supplies will be sent out on Wednesdays (if your class starts on Saturday) or on Fridays (if your class starts on Monday) so there is time to purchase anything you need for the new recipes. Instructional videos and recipes will be sent out each week on Saturday/Monday mornings so you can bake these breads whenever it best fits your schedules.  

I will be available throughout the 8-week class for questions and comments and will do my best to respond quickly. 

Because this is a flex class, learners are encouraged to post weekly on the classroom page. I will ask questions about the bread, recipes, or bread-making process at the end of each week. Students should be prepared to share successes, as well things that might have been a struggle as they learned something new. Students will also be asked to share a photo with the class of at least 3 of their breads.

My class is a safe place to learn, grow, make mistakes, laugh together, feel confident, and find new ways to be successful. I want everyone to feel safe and happy while creating in the kitchen. Come make bread with me!
