Beautiful Breads!

This past Sunday, Country Life Natural Foods offered a Bread making class at their location in Pullman, MI, by Patty LaVanture. A friend of mine and I attended. It was for two hours. But, it was really interesting. I got some great pictures of what she did.
She used her Bosch, and also did another batch by hand to show the difference. All her dough was of Whole Wheat.

An overhead screen to help the 50+ people see what she was doing.

An example of some breads she was making that night, plus a few others.

Apple Strudel Bread

Ways to cut and use the bread. I learned that if you spritz the loaves/dough with water, that the seeds, nuts, etc. you put on top will stick and stay put.

Partial Tea Ring (She cut some off to show how to get the sprial roll look in previous photo.)

Artisan Bread (This has a very different texture and flavor, similar to what Panara put out on your plate along side your sandwiches or soups. Crusty on the outside, chewy on the inside, but very soft at the same time. VERY YUMMY.)

Braided Loaf

Sample plate that each person got at the end. I was shocked at how much they gave us.
Basic Soft Whole Wheat Bread, Artisan Bread, Oatmeal Raisin Buns, Czech Batter Bread, Date-Nut Tea Ring, Apple Strudel Bread....with Earth Balance Margarine, Earth Balance Peanut Butter with agave creamy, Sorrell Ridge Apricot unsweetened conserve, Swan Garden Hummus with roasted garlic, and Tofutti French Onion Cream Cheese
