We invite you to join Slow Food East End and St. Joseph Villa for an in-person Flour Power gathering.
WHAT: Slow Food East End Flour Power Baker’s Workshop
WHEN: Wednesday, May 14, 5:30 – 7:00pm
WHERE: St. Joseph Villa, 81 Lynn Avenue, Hampton Bays (Drive to end of driveway and Park in lot closest to Main House)
WHO: Everyone who has baked or has ever been interested in learning about becoming a Flour Power baker.
WHY: Food insecurity is a huge issue in our community and our community needs loaves.
We love getting our community together to talk all things Flour Power. We will gather at this beautiful venue on the Shinnecock bay, and our very own Bread Ambassador, Pennie Schwartz, will be there to discuss the finer points of the program.
WE NEED MORE LOAVES..
If you signed up a while ago and have yet to get your hands in the dough, this evening is for you.
If you are already a baker (Thank you), we’d love for you to come mingle with your fellow bakers and share your expertise — the new bakers always love your experienced tips and tricks.
Bringing our expert baking community together with our novice bakers is always a beautiful thing. We love swapping stories and hearing your experiences, tips, and feedback about the program.
As we like to say, nothing says love more than a home-baked loaf of our deliciously nutritious bread. Flour Power has been SFEE’s community initiative of inspiring home bakers to join us as we continue our work to fight food insecurity on the East End. Since our launch during the pandemic, we have grown to provide loaves to 4 local pantries, 2 on each fork.
Here are some Highlights of our updated Flour Power program…
- We have sturdy and secure Igloo coolers at each drop-off location so you can securely and easily drop your loaves.
- We have updated the recipe (specifically the amount of flour) for those bakers who prefer to measure rather than weigh their flour.
- We have begun distributing complimentary bread baking starter kits (4 metal loaf pans, some ingredients, recipe cards, bread bags…) in a sturdy canvas tote designed to make bread carrying to the drop-off locations easier. These kits will be available to ALL registered bakers, new and existing.
- We have also added group dough-making workshops where we can all prep the recipe “together” to bake, so you are more confident in your technique when you take that solo plunge. The “together” is in quotes as these will be group Zoom bake classes so you won’t leave YOUR kitchen while baking. More details at the workshop.
We would love for ALL our current bakers to come to this workshop and pick up their kits and get the updated information.
Share this event info with your friends and neighbors, let’s grow our baking tribe. Come chat with us. And break bread with us (pun intended). The bread we bake is delicious and you will get to hear and sample for yourself why we created this recipe to help feed the forks.
Come prepared to learn, to laugh, and to connect with fellow like-minded community members.
