Hi all, I have booked a venue for a private class on Baguettes. This was originally planned as a private event but has expanded to now be open for My Lovely Loaves members. Numbers are limited as I was not able to get my normal venue for suitable times. Details: Date: Saturday 15th August. 10:30am to 2:00pm. Venue: Ngutungka Community Centre and Library, Henley Beach. Cost: $70. including a light lunch. Details: This class will be primarily a demonstration class with some hands on mixing of dough to be taken home to be shaped and baked. (Unfortunately oven space does not permit everyone baking their baguettes on the day.) Plenty of samples will be provided for a light lunch during the event. Bookings will be strictly on a first-come-first-served basis, and there may only be 4 or 5 spaces available as numbers are limited. If this one goes well, I will plan another one at a later date. Payment arrangements to be advised soon. Steve.

It's on tomorrow night. The meeting link will be open from 7:00pm to commence at 7:30pm. Download the recipe and instructions from the Classroom and have your ingredients ready for Stage 1 - The Poolish. See you then!! 🍕

Those who are joining us tomorrow morning, there will be a new Google Meet link as it is a new session. Visit the Pizza class in the Classroom for the new link from 7:30am.

Hi all. For those joining us on the online Pizza class, if you intend to follow the Poolish recipe with sourdough starter, please make sure that your starter is fed and nice and active ready for tonight. As you will see in the recipe, there are alternative ways to make a poolish. With sourdough starter or with yeast. If you prefer to go the yeast route, no need to prepare anything except make sure that you have your ingredients sorted. I am very much looking forward to this class. It is the most involved online class I will have attempted, and I think it will become a model for the future. This one is a free class, because I felt that the first one was not up to the standard I like to achieve in my classes. In future there will be a fee, which will vary depending on the content, which I can regulate without any involvement from other parties. See you tonight! 😀

I have just uploaded the recipe and instructions for the upcoming pizza class in the Classroom. Click in the Pizza class page and you will see the link there. I would suggest that you download, print and read the recipe carefully through before the class. I will be reviewing it in detail on the Friday night as well. 😋
