Flatbreads Bakery - From the Wood-Fired Hearth

Foods

Amy James

One of the oldest forms of bread, flatbread can be found in almost every culture around the world. Explore a variety of styles, both leavened and unleavened, as we bake our creations in North House Folk School’s wood-fired brick oven. Each student will mix up and bake ‘Carta di Musica,' a crisp Italian flatbread, pitas, focaccia, and fougasse, a French flatbread. This course provides a wide introduction to the variety of bread styles for the home baker, as class discussions include how to create a hearth-like baking experience in your home oven. Students will take home loaves of bread. Interested in a complete weekend bread baking experience? Register for the Whole Grain Sourdough Bakery course immediately preceding this course (see separate course description).

Making it happen:

When should I enroll?
We can't hold classes without students! Decisions regarding course cancellations (as related to minimum enrollment) are made three weeks before the class starts--so if you've got a course in mind, plan ahead and sign up at least three weeks in advance! That way we'll know you're coming, courses are more likely to meet minimum enrollment numbers, and then they'll actually take place.
Also watch for the words "nearly full" next to course dates. When that notation appears it means there are only one or two spots left--so sign up soon!
Do you take last minute registrations?
Of course! Although it's important that courses meet minimum enrollment three weeks before their scheduled start dates, we know that life doesn't always allow for prior planning. As long as there are still spots left in a course we're happy to accept your registration last minute.
When will new course dates be posted?
New course dates are posted both in the spring and fall to coordinate with our course catalog release dates. All the new dates are opened for enrollment on the same day and at the same time, so that everyone gets a fair crack at a spot in the courses they're interested in. As that time rolls around we announce when the new dates will "go live" in our e-newsletter. (sign up here!)
