Chicago Amateur Bread Bakers is a not-for-profit group whose mission is to support and inspire those actively baking bread at home. We meet in-person monthly to share our experiences and learn from one another.
Please join us for our June "Taste-and-Tell" event. This month's focus topics: Something Sweet + Yeast Swap.
The "Taste-and-Tell" is a monthly event, to which each baker is required to bring his/her own freshly baked, yeasted bread.
To this "Taste-and-Tell," we suggest you bring bread whose dough has a high content of sugar or other natural sweeteners. High sugar content poses certain technical challenges to us bread bakers; this event is an opportunity to introduce yourself to this subject--and share what you have learned with other bakers. We also invite you to bring a samples of the yeast(s) you use at home--commercial and/or sourdough--for the yeast swap. If participating in the yeast swap, please bring enough yeast to share with everyone present (a maximum of 12 bakers). And please bring a collection of your own containers (tupperware; disposable, recycled yogurt containers; etc.) in which to take home samples of others' yeasts.
As always, please consider the focus topics not as requirements, but rather as suggestions to inspire your baking. The only requirement is that your bring your own freshly baked, yeasted bread.
