With committed participants, training and management of regular baking activities. Where can flour be purchased then stored? How to make ´sourdough´ (Sauerteig, massa mãe, levain, massa madre). Teach children and adults to make bread, chapatis, veggies for immediate consumption and use during the following week. A community oven can be an important feature of any community, source of inspiration, learning, economy and really fun!
The oven building and oven management workshops require at least 3 regular participants. All ages are welcome, if just for one day. We do not charge for our collaboration, just require your hospitality and depending on situation, participation in travel expenses. An appropriate budget for materials and logistics insures success and results. If your community would like to build an oven contact me to schedule a time and begin planning.
Visit the community oven in Lisbon each Sunday and Monday, year round.
