  • The One Day Bake
    The One Day Bake Generally, I like baking sourdough bread over a two day span to give it a nice long fermentation. However, you can certainly squeeze it into one day if needed. If you follow my trick for an overnight ice water starter feeding and you’ve got a full day to give your bread some loving, you can pull off this one day bake no problem! Variables* - Sourdough bread making is an active living process! It can be very temperamental with multiple elements effecting the process and final product including temperature, environment, and fermentation activity. The timing in this recipe is based off a room temperature of 72 degrees Fahrenheit. If your temp is colder, than your process will be slowed down so you can adjust the times accordingly. If it’s warmer, the process will be speed up so adjust accordingly. Baking is an intuitive process and this should be used as a rough guide in conjunction with the skills and knowledge you gained in Sourdough U! 10:00pm Feed Starter - remove most of the starter leaving at least 2 Tbsp, then The ice water will give you an extra 2-4 feed your starter with flour and ice cold water to slow down the activation hours of activation time so the starter will be ready to use 10:00pm Autolyse - mix flour and water together to form shaggy mass. when you wake up. 7:00am - Add Starter and Salt to the Dough - once the starter is fully activated, incorporate the starter and salt into the dough with the stretch and fold technique.

  • Sourdough Bread What Is Sourdough Bread?
    Sourdough Bread What is sourdough bread? Most commercial bread products are made with yeast that is commercially produced to behave a certain way. This is what we normally use in class. Sourdough is a bit different because it is made with a sourdough starter that traps natural yeast in the air and uses it to make bread rise. What is sourdough bread? Sourdough bread can look like anything, but most often looks like a beautiful artisan bread. Sometimes it has a tighter crumb and is denser because wild yeast is not as predictable. Artisan means it is not mass produced. It takes time and effort to create. What is sourdough bread? If you haven’t tasted sourdough bread, it has a much more complex flavor than typical bread. And the flavor is different depending on where you trap your yeast. San Francisco has the most famous sourdough bread. This video has lots of great information about the flavor of sourdough. What is sourdough? Sourdough is a bread made from the natural occurring yeast and bacteria in flour and the air. In traditional sourdough recipes, you’ll find three ingredients: sourdough starter (which consists of flour and water), salt and flour. There is no yeast, no milk, no oils and no sweeteners. It’s about as natural as you get when it comes to bread. Health Benefits of Sourdough bread LACTOBACILLUS Lactobacillus is the good bacteria in yogurt, kefir, sour cream, buttermilk, etc. It ferments the flour/water mixture and creates lactic acid In simple terms – all the nutrients in your bread are bigger and badder, and now your body is better able to USE them too.

  • Using Italian
    This page intentionally left blank Using Italian This is a guide to Italian usage for students who have already acquired the basics of the language and wish to extend their knowledge. Unlike conventional grammars, it gives special attention to those areas of vocabulary and grammar which cause most difficulty to English speakers. Careful consideration is given throughout to questions of style, register, and politeness which are essential to achieving an appropriate level of formality or informality in writing and speech. The book surveys the contemporary linguistic scene and gives ample space to the new varieties of Italian that are emerging in modern Italy. The influence of the dialects in shaping the development of Italian is also acknowledged. Clear, readable and easy to consult via its two indexes, this is an essential reference for learners seeking access to the finer nuances of the Italian language. j. j. kinder is Associate Professor of Italian at the Department of European Languages and Studies, University of Western Australia. He has published widely on the Italian language spoken by migrants and their children. v. m. savini is tutor in Italian at the Department of European Languages and Studies, University of Western Australia.

  • Festiwal Chlebów Świata, 21-23. Marca 2014 Roku
    FESTIWAL CHLEBÓW ŚWIATA, 21-23. MARCA 2014 ROKU Stowarzyszenie Polskich Mediów, Warszawska Izba Turystyki wraz z Zespołem Szkół nr 11 im. Władysława Grabskiego w Warszawie realizuje projekt FESTIWAL CHLEBÓW ŚWIATA 21 - 23 marca 2014 r. Celem tej inicjatywy jest promocja chleba, pokazania jego powszechności, ale i równocześnie różnorodności. Zaplanowaliśmy, że będzie się ona składała się z dwóch segmentów: pierwszy to prezentacja wypieków pieczywa według receptur kultywowanych w różnych częściach świata, drugi to ekspozycja producentów pieczywa oraz związanych z piekarnictwem produktów. Do udziału w żywej prezentacji chlebów świata zaprosiliśmy: Casa Artusi (Dom Ojca Kuchni Włoskiej) z prezentacją piady, producenci pity, macy oraz opłatka wigilijnego, Muzeum Żywego Piernika w Toruniu, Muzeum Rolnictwa w Ciechanowcu z wypiekiem chleba na zakwasie, przedstawiciele ambasad ze wszystkich kontynentów z pokazem własnej tradycji wypieku chleba. Dodatkowym atutem będzie prezentacja chleba astronautów wraz osobistym świadectwem Polskiego Kosmonauty Mirosława Hermaszewskiego. Nie zabraknie też pokazu rodzajów ziarna oraz mąki. Realizacją projektu będzie bezprecedensowa ekspozycja chlebów świata, pozwalająca poznać nie tylko dzieje chleba, ale też wszelkie jego odmiany występujące w różnych regionach świata. Taka prezentacja to podkreślenie uniwersalnego charakteru chleba jako pożywienia, który w znanej czy nieznanej nam dotychczas innej formie można znaleźć w każdym zakątku kuli ziemskiej zamieszkałym przez ludzi. Odkąd istnieje pismo, wzmiankowano na temat chleba, toteż, dodatkowo, jego kultowa i kulturowo – symboliczna wartość jest nie do przecenienia. Inauguracja FESTIWALU CHLEBÓW ŚWIATA planowana jest w piątek, w dniu 21 marca 2014 roku, pierwszym dniu wiosny a potrwa ona do niedzieli tj. do 23.03. 2014 r.. Uczniowie wówczas szukają pomysłów na nieodbywanie typowych zajęć lekcyjnych. My proponujemy bardzo celowe „vagari”- zapraszając uczniów wszystkich typów i poziomów szkoły z opiekunami do spotkania się na Festiwalu.

  • Forage Heritage Sourdough Starter Instructions For
    Forage Heritage Sourdough Starter This sourdough starter was cultured by Forage’s Executive Chef Welbert Choi when Forage first opened in 2012. Chef Choi carefully nurtured this starter from strains of wild yeasts. Every loaf of sourdough bread ever baked in the Forage kitchen has come from this starter, and you can now continue this tradition at home. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do! Instructions for Use Wake the starter: This sourdough starter has been dehydrated and put into a dormant state. When you are ready to revive this starter, place the entire bag (30 g) in a jar (at least 500 ml in size) and add 60 g of lukewarm water. Stir well and let sit for 30 minutes to rehydrate. First feeding: After 30 minutes add 30 g of unbleached all-purpose flour, or bread flour. Cover lightly with something breathable (a coffee filter secured with an elastic band works well for this) and place it somewhere warm. You want it to be somewhere around 32 C to revive quickly. Let it rest: The starter will take about 24 hours to come back to life, at this point you should see a few bubbles starting to form. Second feeding: After about 24 hours, or once you see the bubbles starting, add 30 g flour and 30 g lukewarm water, stir to combine. Cover and put back in its warm spot. Third feeding: After another 24 hours add another 30 g flour and another 30 g lukewarm water, stir again, cover again, and put back in warm spot.

    Emilia-Romagna’s Food Crowned Italy’s Best Published on iItaly.org (http://www.iitaly.org) Emilia-Romagna’s Food Crowned Italy’s Best Natasha Lardera (March 07, 2015) “Italy’s Greatest Gastronomic Treasure, Emilia Romagna.” This is the title’s of David Rosengarten’s latest article published on Forbes, an extensive piece that goes beyond Parmigiano-Reggiano, Prosciutto di Parma, Mortadella, tortellini and balsamic vinegar. “Italy’s Greatest Gastronomic Treasure, Emilia Romagna.” [2] This is the title’s of David Rosengarten’s latest article published on Forbes, an extensive piece that goes beyond Parmigiano- Reggiano, Prosciutto di Parma, Mortadella, tortellini and balsamic vinegar. The long reportage starts with a cute cliché, that “If you ask an Italian where the best food is in Italy, you almost always get the same answer. “Eh,” they like to say. “At my mother’s house!”… looking like “how could you be so stupid to not know that?” Yet, apparently if you ask around and push for a regional answer everybody agrees on Emilia-Romagna, “the wondrous north-central region that lies in the fertile Po River Valley.” What Rosengarten proceeds to explain is that for Italians this is not an uncommon answer, Emilia- Romagna is known to be a major player for its rich and savory cuisine but in the US its cuisine is not that popular. Americans, for example, tend to be big aficionados of Tuscan cuisine and the reported even gives a funny example: “Once, in New York, a great restaurateur opened a place called Page 1 of 3 Emilia-Romagna’s Food Crowned Italy’s Best Published on iItaly.org (http://www.iitaly.org) Amarcord, a reference to Fellini, who was one of Emilia-Romagna’s greatest sons.
