BAKER'S CORNER: BREAD BAKING 101

BAKE BREAD WITH LOCAL CAIRNSPRING FLOURS

Jerilyn is a lifelong baker and learner. You may have heard of her as the co-creator of the recipe for the wildly successful Cinnabon World Famous Cinnamon Rolls.  Since then, Jerilyn’s talents have taken her down many paths including cook, baker, restaurateur, product development consultant and frequent leader of citizen diplomacy missions to Vietnam. Today, Jerilyn is a passionate advocate for the Pacific Northwest grain renaissance.

There’s a resurgence of interest in new science and traditional plant breeding to bring wheat-growing back to the fertile Skagit and Willamette Valleys. In the Skagit Valley, The Bread Lab is doing ground-breaking research and offering internationally famous annual symposiums.  Cairnspring Mills is reinventing the local flour mill by stone milling grains grown by local farmers. Yes, local milling is back!  Jerilyn, as Baking Consultant and Board Member to Cairnspring Mill, will share her knowledge of how local ‘identity preserved grains’ can be milled into flour with superior flavor, nutrition and baking properties, and she’ll show you how to use these local flours to make amazing breads and rolls.

As you watch Jerilyn demo, you’ll gain the wealth of information that she has to offer.  Then the fun begins as you roll up your sleeves and make her Grandmother’s cinnamon rolls (this butter and egg enriched dough is the same dough Jerilyn developed for her awesome cinnamon roll recipe) and Whole Grain Edison Honey Butter Loaf (this sumptuous, super-delicious loaf made from organic hard white spring wheat grown in the Bow/ Edison area is surprisingly easy to put together and has a beautiful flavor and crust).
