This is an encore presentation of one of Kathy’s most popular classes at Cooks’Wares. Follow her through the basic chemistry of combining yeast, flour, water and salt. Once this is mastered you will be producing beautiful and tasty breads. You will be working with various mixing and shaping techniques as well as baking methods for perfect French Bread.
