Bakery consulting

March 20, 2013 - 2:14pm -- Karen Guse

I currently own a very popular small bakery in WV, due to an unexpected move we are selling the buisness. A couple is interested but wants me to consult for there location.  This would include all pastries, bread, soup, kitchen design, SOP, and menu.  I and very capable of doing this task, but haven't a clue  what to charge.  Any suggestions?

thanks, 

Karen Guse

Seeking Artisan Baker in Washington DC

Le Diplomate, the newest restaurant of the Starr Restaurant Group, is opening a French-style brasserie in DC at 14th & Q St.  We're looking for someone with experience baking with levain and preferments such as poolish in a production environment.  Experience shaping baguettes a plus.

If interested contact me.  lkphd@yahoo.com

Oven spring in professional deck oven

February 26, 2013 - 9:54am -- Liverpoolbaker

I've just recently started doing some baking in a professional deck oven, its a mono oven 4 years old with a steam system. I was quite excited about baking in it, as I've only every really used my old domestic gas oven at home. My basic white sourdough (800g of dough, 75% hydration, 4 hours bulk ferment, 12+ hours cold prove in banetons), is something I get consisten results with when baking at home using the dutch oven. I always get good oven spring and great looking blooms.

hi, all... i'm about to begin a new adventure.  i'm a geologist by trade- worked in the environmental industry for years.  but i'm half italian, and i grew up learning how to cook and bake from my grandma and her sisters.  i recently quit my geology job and went to a culinary school in rome for 3 months to learn how to make pizza al taglio, among other styles (wood fired, alla pala, tonda, etc.).  a location has come up that i need to jump on, so i'm looking for some advice on setting up a bakery.  this post is concerend with ovens and associated equipment.
