Have you ever baked bread before? What about in an outdoor oven? Baking bread is one of the many activities we demonstrate as part of some of our school programs, such as the Environmental Living Program, at Sutter’s Fort State Historic Park. We thought today would be a great day to share our bread recipe and how we bake bread because September 23rd is National Baker Day! In this video, Channey demonstrates baking bread in the outdoor brick oven outside the bakery at Sutter’s Fort. Bread Recipe: • Dissolve in bowl: • 2 packets of rapid rising yeast • 2½ cups warm water • Add: • ⅓ cup cooking oil • ½ cup sugar • Mix the above and let rest 10 minutes • Add: • 3 tsp. salt • ½ cup milk • 4 cups whole wheat flour • 1 cup white flour • Knead until dough doubles in size • Let dough rise for 1-2 hours • Divide into 4 loaves • Rise ½ hour • Bake at 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes #breadrecipe #baking #suttersfort #castateparks #museumtok
