I've been approached to bake for a health food store. They have a small
cafe and adequate space to bake. As I'm considering how all this could
work, I have a few questions for you all.
To begin with, I'd just bring in my 325 watt Kitchen Aid, which I usually
stuff with 8 cups of flour max. To make baking worth my time and the
store's I think that I'd need to make at least 10 loaves of bread. At 3
cups of flour for a 1 1/2 pound loaf, that's 4 batches.
Advice on baking 4 batches in a row? Keeping things organized? Preparing
ahead of time. (I am trying to fit it into a 3-4 block of time) I can just
picture the shuffling around. Maybe it will be best, I don't know...any
thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Next question: I want to do a run through after you all weigh in on this,
so I bought a cheapo bag of flour from Costco (I usually bake with fresh
ground wheat).
Since I never bake with straight white flour, I don't have a recipe I like
or know...Does anyone have a SIMPLE white bread recipe they like and use often.
Thanks all,
