Video of my Dad visiting the derelict Frederick Model Bakery ten years after he left it

Schedule for the seventh class meeting

Round pumpernickel baked ahead of the class meeting for tasting. The baking takes too long for this dense and large bread to be able to taste one baked during the class

Passing the test load around the class and tapping it to check that it has been fully baked

We tasted the pumpernickel and a surprise bonus bread. Sidney brought in a Swedish Limpa bread flavored with molasses and anise

Demonstrating making a pumpernickel dough

With a dense bread instead of scoring the surface to let steam escape you poke holes with a pointed stick

For a round dough in addition to poking the holes with a thin stick a thumb deep into the middle of the loaf

Two presentations on rye bread
