Flour, water, yeast and salt. Just four ingredients, a source of heat and a little elbow grease. Anybody can make a decent loaf of bread in their own homes. This evening’s demonstration will include participation to see these simple ingredients come together to form dough for participants to take home and bake. Hydration, gluten formation, fermentation and temperatures will all be discussed. All who wish will get to “break bread” at the finish of the evening.
Robert is a second generation Puerto Rican raised on Puerto Rican cooking by parents, grandparents, and other relatives. He is self taught and started cooking at the age of four, helping his mother who provided a special milk crate that elevated the young child to the height of the stovetop. In addition to making various Puerto Rican dishes, along with his mom, he became interested in baking, especially after watching Julia Child, a PBS event that became a ritual for his family. He began baking bread at an early age and started selling it out of his home later on. At his cafe in Catskill, he sold out of bread every Friday.
