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 celebrity judges will be Richard Bourdon of Berkshire Mountain Bakery, Sarah Reynolds North of Found Bread, and Jean-Francois Bizalion of Bizalion's Fine Foods.
Breads will be judged by our 3 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 March 11th by midnight
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 2:30pm on Friday, March 15th. Earlier is better! We can accept entries as early as 12:00pm.
