Dear Sourdough Bread enthusiast;
Preheat your ovens! Join us to celebrate sourdough and community by entering Dewey Memorial Hall’s Sourdough Bread Baking Contest.
The culinary judges will be Jean-Francois Bizalion of Bizalion's Fine Foods, Richard Bourdon of Berkshire Mountain Bakery, Travis Brecher of Creature Breads, and Katy Sparks of Edible Natural World.Breads will be judged by our 4 celebrity judges based on flavor, texture/crumb, crust, scent, etc. Breads will receive numbers upon arrival in order to maintain anonymity of the bakers during the judging and tasting process.
Bakers are invited to stay for the wine tasting, cheese, and bread tasting. Bakers tickets are $15, attendees tickets are $30.
Requirements to enter:Pre-Register by Feb 20th
Complete the registration form below. We are asking bakers to provide two 2 pound loaves (a 2 pound loaf contains approximately 4 cups of flour). One loaf is for judging and tasting and one will be raffled off. Loaves should be baked with the traditional sourdough fermentation process (no commercial yeast). Grain variations are welcome in the traditional category. If you would like to add additional ingredients such as onion, fruits, nuts, seeds, or spices please enter the "Embellishment" category.
Your TWO 2 pound loaves must arrive at Dewey Hall by 5:00pm on Friday March 3rd. Earlier is better! We can accept entries as early as 3pm.
