Video Bread (112 min DVD)
Learn how to make bread at
home by
hand: Bread baking has become a lost art. A generation or two ago your
mother or grandmother
made bread for the family. Today we just don't know how anymore. We
forgot!
I would like to teach you how to make bread at home in
your spare time at your own pace. The DVD will show you how. The DVD
is a cooking class on video. It is step-by-step visual instruction.
Like
having a private tutor in your kitchen.
In the first and longest segment, you will learn how to
make a "basic" loaf of bread. A formula approach takes the magic and
guess work
out of the process. You will receive science and background information
on yeast and flour
and a good understanding of their function in bread baking.Once you know
how to make a basic loaf of bread, we go on
to make a variety of yeast products.
In the second segment, we use different pans to shape the
dough into buns, rolls, free form loaves and French and Italian bread.
We treat the crust
in a variety of ways.In the remaining segments we make: stone-ground
whole
wheat bread, caraway rye bread, cinnamon raisin rolls, pizza and a
banana cream and apple
pie. Pies have nothing to do with yeast, but a pie crust contains only
four ingredients,
is simple to make and some people have just never been shown how.
The final segment is a summary/narrative on cost, source
and nutrition. The viewer learns how to locate and purchase from food
brokers, wholesalers
and distributors. Nutrition is discussed in detail.
