It seems like more and more people would like to learn a craft that is useful, one that can later be passed on to their children and grandchildren. One is baking bread, using ingredients that you always have in your kitchen: flour, salt, dry yeast and water. The aroma of fresh homemade bread is very inviting and warming, and will always be a treat for your family and friends.
The baking workshop "Bread from Scratch" at Rise Up Bakery baker Jim Haas will be a good source of knowledge for both amateur and aspiring bakers.
