I noticed Modernist Cuisine is going to offer a series of email Bread School courses. They said they will make an announcement when it's available for sign-up, sometime in early March. In response to questions when they posted this on Facebook, they said that it's not necessary to have either this "At Home" book or the original Modernist Bread in order to follow along.
QuoteTo celebrate the launch of Modernist Bread at Home, we're excited to bring you complimentary email courses directly to your inbox starting this March. Our online Bread School will help you navigate making bread in your own kitchen. Whether you're a novice or refining your skills, these courses are tailored to complement our latest cookbook, Modernist Bread at Home. Don’t have a copy yet? No problem – you can still follow along.
HOW IT WORKS
When you sign up, you will receive one lesson per day, with each course consisting of 5-7 lessons starting early March. Courses include recommended tips, insights from the book, and guidance on utilizing Modernist Bread at Home (if you have it). The courses will also include extra materials, such as recipes uploaded to our website, that are related to your course, along with additional information on our blog.
Our upcoming classes will include Getting Started with Baking Bread, Fitting Bread into Busy Schedules, The Role of Different Bread Ingredients, How to Start a Levain and Keep it Alive, and Scoring and Proofing.
Stay tuned for the launch of Course 1: Getting Started with Baking Bread, coming early March.
If you have any bread-related topics you would like us to cover in future courses, drop them below in our comment section!
Even though the emails don't require the book, it kind of piques my interest in getting it and might serve as a nudge to actually bake from it!
I figure I'll sign up for the emails when they become available and if they seem engaging, I'll order the book.
