scant 1/8 tsp Instant YeastFinal Dough2 pounds Bread Flour1 pound 6 ounces Water2 pound 3 ounces Poolish (all from day before)

¼ ounce Instant Yeast1 teaspoon each Thyme, Basil and Oregano - fresh or dry (optional)1 ounce SaltPreparation

: Pre-ferment methodPoolish:1. Mix together water, flour and yeast. Mix until smooth.Scrape into a non-oiled container, cover in plastic and allow to sit at room

temp for about 12-16hours.

Final Dough:1. Combine water, Poolish and all dry ingredients: flour, salt, yeast and herbs.2. Mix on speed 1 for 30 seconds with paddle, check consistency. Dough should be wet!3. Mix on Speed 2 for 6 minutes or until dough pulls clean from the bowl.4. Bulk ferment in oiled container. Turn dough every 30 minutes allowing for additional 30 minute rest after

last turn for a total of 2 hours of fermentation. This will double in bulk.5. When fermented, gently loosen the dough from the sides of the container and place onto a well-flouredspot on the bench. BE CAREFUL NOT TO DEFLATE THE DOUGH!6. Gently divide and scale dough into desired portions and deposit onto well-oiled pans.7. Cover the dough with desired ingredients: olive oil, tomatoes, and fresh rosemary are good choices.8. Allow dough to rest for 15-20 minutes.9. Bake at 450-500 degrees deck oven with steam until brown all over. This should take 30 minutes. Allowto cool, and portion as desired.Slide7

Biscotti

A hard cookie with milk chocolate chips baked in and melted chocolate drizzled on top. Perfect to dip in coffee or hot chocolate. The cookie soaks up the liquid and softens to make it a soft moist delicious cookieSlide10

Functions of Yeast

Breaks down fermentable sugars to produce carbon dioxide.

The carbon dioxide causes the dough to rise.

The chemical reaction of yeast causes dough to mature by creating alcohol and carbon dioxide which pushes against the protein and causes it to stretch, resulting in a light, airy dough.

The creation of alcohol infuses more of a flavor into the bread.Slide11

Creaming is the method of incorporating air bubbles into the fat of a product to make it light and fluffy. It acts as a leavening agent to help the product rise and expand as it is baking.

Cream sugars, salts and fats together with a paddle if using a mixer until a smooth “fluffy” appearance is taken on. Then slowly add eggs and flavorings such as extracts in stages into the mix.Next add sifted dry ingredients such as flower and baking soda into the mix all at once and mix until combined.This method is used most commonly for cakes and cookies such as: chocolate chip cookies.
