Basic Recipe for Hearth-Baked bread
(Start the previous day!)
3 c flour (all white, or 1⁄2 and 1⁄2 white and whole wheat)
1⁄4 tsp dry yeast
1 1⁄2 tsp salt
1 1⁄2 c (approximate) water
Mix yeast with 1 tablespoon warm water and set aside for 5 minutes to “proof” it.
Mix the flour, salt and water together. Add the proofed yeast mixture. Knead vigorously for 10 minutes. Cover with plastic and let set for 12 hours or overnight. Knead for 1 minute and form into a ball. Let set another 2-3 hours. Punch down dough 1 hour before baking and let it rise. Bring it to the oven just before 1 pm on Saturday.

The Firemasters
The Firemasters are volunteers who have gone through a program that qualifies them to build and maintain a baking fire. Each firing takes upwards of 4 hours and requires fire building, temperature monitoring and oven preparation. Usually, at least 2 people (such as a Firemaster and a trainee) are present for the firemaking. Community bake days are organized around the Firemasters' availability, so the dates and times vary. We try to give at least a few days' notice to people who want to bake at those times. If you are interested in becoming a Firemaster OR in baking, drop us a line for the details.

Firemasters
A small but devoted group of volunteer Firemasters start and maintain the oven fires for baking. It is a very special job, one on which the bakers depend. Firemasters go through a training process, and put in many hours of time on each bake. Would YOU like to be a Firemaster? Send us a note to get the details.
