Tyler Carpenter, our bread-lover friend from neighboring Abby Jane Bakeshop, is coming to the mill to teach you how to make classic, French country style baguettes! From his years of experience in acclaimed artisanal bakeries in Austin and beyond, as well as time traveling and eating in France, Tyler has a wealth of knowledge & creativity to share with you in this class all about the baguette.

For this class, Tyler will be sharing a dough recipe and method to produce two baguettes within four hours, so you can take your recipe home and use it to your heart's content for any dinner or cheese board that just wouldn't be complete without a crusty & airy baguette friend! In class, you will start from the bottom of a recipe, mixing a dough with a unique and flavorful blend of carefully selected BSM flours. Tyler will include what flour choices work best for a baguette, as well as creative ways to incorporate specialty flours and whole wheats in your dough. He will walk you through the resting, rising, and shaping processes, as well as provide demos for more advanced applications of the baguette craft. This means that within class, you will master a basic, yet elevated baguette recipe & method, and leave with some techniques and ideas to inspire your baking at home. This class is suitable for beginner to intermediate, and even advanced home bakers. All levels are welcome and can gain something from this class!

During class, we will provide some elegant snacking opportunities (carnivore & vegetarian-friendly options available 😉). Think: butter & cheese options galore from local & specialty purveyors!

BYOB is fine by us for participants 21+ 🥂

We hope you come to this class to learn more about baguettes from our bud Tyler, and more about the versatility of our flour offerings!

WONDERFUL!!

Just received my order of Hopi Blue Cornmeal. Shipping was quick, order was in great shape, product is
beyond belief good!!! Just made some tortillas and they turned out perfect. Very authentic taste and quality!!!
Thank you!!!

Good flour, full flavored

I like the mills offerings. I ordered this flour in the past and thought it definitely had good flavor. It made a tasty loaf of sourdough. Luckily they sell it at the Pullman Market in San Antonio now so I can grab them in person close by! Perfect.

great tastes

i have tried probably 10 different products from barton springs mill, all of them excellent. the wheat varieties are full of flavor, so different from the major brands of flours.

Will be buying more of this

The texture from the milling of this WW rouge de Bordeaux is wonderfully silky. Lots of flavor and great color. I pushed the envelope to see what I could achieve using only this WW and nothing else for a couple sourdough loaves at 95% hydration and was able to achieve sufficient strength, both surprisingly elastic and extensible considering it is an unsifted flour. With a little bit of careful development (but not over-working) and attention to temperature and building tension it functions well by itself. I might dial it back somewhat next time and do a blend but what can I say? It’s an excellent zero extraction whole wheat bread flour and perhaps even better as a component in partly ww breads.
