Whole Grains & Science with Andrew Ross

October 19, 2019 @ 9:00 am - 5:00 pm

We are excited to introduce this topic to home bakers in a way that will elevate your baking and provide a peek under the hood about what is happening in the mixing bowl, during resting, fermentation, and in the oven. Professor Andrew Ross joins us from Oregon State University to teach alongside baker Craig Ponsford for this one-day introduction into how science can inform the craft of baking. The course will be a mixture of theory, demos and hands-on experience.

The aims of the workshop are:

  • To provide insight into the scientific principles that underpin success in baking
  • To provide information that can be of practical day-to-day use for a home baker, for example in selecting the appropriate flour for your chosen product
  • To provide information that can give bakers confidence in the nutritional value of cereal-based foods

Topics will include:

·         Milling.

·         Gluten, starch, and fiber. How each contribute to the process and finished products and to digestibility.

·         Use of non-wheat flours without functional gluten for flavor and nutrition

·         To autolyze or not to autolyze

·         Basic sourdough starter management
