Middlesex Woman’s Club bread-baking fun slated for Jan. 15

Middlesex County Woman’s Club member Vera England prepares to bake bread during the club’s class last year.

The beginning of 2024 means it’s time for the seventh annual Middlesex County Woman’s Club Bread Baking Class. This year’s class is set for  10 a.m.-1 p.m. Monday, Jan. 15, at the group’s clubhouse in the colonial courthouse at 202 Virginia St. in Urbanna.

This will be a hands-on class, so be prepared to stir, squish, knead, roll and pound and to immerse your hands in the warm, gooey dough. While participants wait for the dough to rise, they will share a light lunch of demonstration loaves and soup brought by a volunteer.

Each participant will take home one or two loaves of almost-ready bread to finish baking at home. Ingredients will be supplied, but participants will be given a list of supplies (bowls, baking sheet, etc.) that they will need for the class.

Expect to spend $35, which will cover the cost of ingredients (which has increased since last year) and a donation to the club.

This class is open to the public and men are welcome. A school-age child can be included as your partner for no additional charge.

For information or to sign up for the class, email Vera England at vaengland@verizon.net.
