SUMMARY:Two-Day Bread Baking Retreat with Michael Kalanty
DESCRIPTION:Saturday & Sunday\, 9 am to 5 pm \nJoin us for two days of intensive bread baking! \nThere are some breads that are especially valuable teaching tools\, and Chef Michael Kalanty has selected his favorites from these to create an exceptional learning experience. \nThrough demonstrations\, discussion\, hands-on baking\, and practical problem-solving\, this course brings the science of bread baking to life. These breads present a wide variety of dough types and baking techniques\, so whether you are new to bread baking or already have experience at the bench\, you will gain a deeper understanding of fermentation\, dough development\, shaping\, and baking. \nOur Menu: \n\nPain au Levain: Classic French Sourdough – Explore the principles of natural fermentation while working with Chef Michael’s 32-year-old organic sourdough culture\, whose lineage is preserved by the International Sourdough Museum in Belgium. At the end of class\, you will also take home a portion of the culture to continue baking this sourdough at home! \n\nBest Home Pizza Dough & Chocolate Babka Coffeecake – These breads are based on pre-ferments\, one of the baker’s most valuable tools. \n\nHoney Whole Wheat Sandwich Bread\, Chewy New York Bagels\, & Pain au Lait Burger Buns – These enduring American favorites demonstrate practical techniques that belong in every baker’s repertoire\, from dough mixing and fermentation to shaping and baking. \nPlus\, you will learn the Pro Skills that can make all of your breads better: \n\nDough handling and bench techniques.\nHand-mixing vs using a machine: how flour type and bread characteristics influence the best approach.\nShaping methods for different dough styles.\nProofing and fermentation management.\nOven techniques for improved crust and crumb.\n\n  \nLunch is included both days. \n\n\n\n\nInstructor Bio\nMichael Kalanty is a professional bread baking instructor.
