Are there fellow bread bakers in the Detoit Metro area? Other cities have groups that get together occasionally to compare notes and eat some great bread. Has a group formed or is anyone potentially interested?
I'm in Troy, and love baking. Have a loaf in the oven as we speak. Any great spots to buy baking supplies? I have searched via Google but have come up empty, other than the standards. I've tried talking a cake supply shop into carrying baking stuff, flour, etc., but no luck.
A great source for inexpensive parchment and other baking supplies. Unfortunately, up here in Northern Michigan they only carry bleached flours; not sure what's available downstate.
I like Bulk Foods stores (they are called Bulk Food). There are two near me on the east side one on Harper in St. Clair Shores and another in Clinton Twp, I believe. They carry a nice variety of flours, seeds, nuts, etc in bulk. I like it because I can buy only what I need and don't have to worry about stuff getting stale.
Hi Mike, I love Cambro. I have a set (3) of the two-quart and one-quart containers. I use them for measuring flour and water. GFS sells them at a bargain price for certain.
Will check out the six quart on my next trip. Their caraway and other seeds are sold at great prices, too.
But I'm a hop, skip and jump away from the Straits of Mackinac, Bill, in the snow belt of Michigan.
I envy your proximity to Zingerman's. When the snow melts in April, I hope to get down there for their Power of Flour class.
Wasn't aware of that class...just checked it out on their web site. That sounds like a great class...a little pricey but interesting.
It's one of their best classes. Worth the price!

LindyD, have you found the Cambro 6Qt. dough containers w/ lids 2 for about $12? they normally go for 1 @ $10.00
Only a GFS.

Thanks Bill.
I'll didn't think of bulk foods.
