King Arthur baking class

An ad in our paper tells of a series of King Arthur Flour bread baking classes in Albuquerque. I plan on going to the "Crusty Artisan Breads" class. Anyone else have any experience with these classes?

I went to a ton of them in their prior incarnation. Good stuff. Not quite sure how they run them these days, but back in the '90s they offered a lot of real content.

Hmmmm, thought maybe this would be a dough-making seminar at Round Table Pizza.

I wouldn't mind learning how to throw dough better.

I went to the artisinal bread class last night, which was excellent. I picked up a few tips. So if the free class comes to your area, I'd recommend it.

The demonstrator made baguettes, boules, an epi, and whatever you call the one in a bannetone. She used a lame to slash the bread. I have one, and I think it sucks, but different strokes (no pun intended).

The only downside is that I didn't win a door prize. One woman brought two young children and they each won a particularly coveted prize. Not exactly fair in my mind; the mother had three chances, in effect.

One of the things I hated at the classes was the door prizes - never won one (and didn't really care), but it was always stunning how people who were related/came together usually won multiple prizes. It happened every time.

The entire front row on my side of the class won door prizes. Makes you wonder about odds.

Larry,
In case you never noticed, the teacher's pets always sit in the first row.
