hello. I'm a Newby and I'm in the uk. I'm after advice for setting up a bakery enterprise in a secondary school. We will sell to staff and students families.
my students plan on staying back after school one evening to make the dough then bake the following day. Should we knead and shape that evening then leave to prove overnight in the fridge?
I would be grateful for any other suggestions? Many thanks. Jo --
and equipment.
I mix/knead in the evening, leave overnight and bake in the morning.
I'm not sure it would work at (say) 3pm though.
However if you have a big fridge, then things can be easier. Mix, knead at lunchtime. leave out an hour, then shape into tins/bannetons, etc. then into the fridge for a longer proof then bake in the morning might work.
