WFPB Cooking: Bread Baking 101

In Whole Food, Plant-Based (WFPB) Cooking: Bread Baking 101, you will learn the fundamentals of baking with whole grains and other minimally processed plant-based ingredients. We will explore how to choose and incorporate numerous flours, seeds, and natural sweeteners; we will also touch on the nutritional benefits of WFPB bread. You will learn essential bread-making techniques—such as mixing, kneading, and proofing dough—and methods for achieving the perfect crust and crumb. Participants will practice WFPB baking techniques by making various breads, including whole wheat loaves, flatbreads, and rolls, and will learn to create flavor using herbs, spices, and other healthy plant-based ingredients. You will also learn how to troubleshoot common issues, such as a dense texture or a lack of rise. By the end of the class, you will have the skills to bake healthy plant-based bread from scratch and experiment with your own recipes.
