SHEFFIELD, Mass. — Dewey Hall will hold its third annual sourdough bread-baking competition on Friday, March 15

 

Bakers will enter two full-size loaves of bread, one for tasting/judging and one to be raffled off. Attendees will be invited to sample the contestants' loaves of bread along with complementary cheese boards from Rubiner's Cheesemongers and wine, beer, and non-alcoholic beverages provided by DARE Bottleshop. Attendees will also have the opportunity to win loaves of freshly baked sourdough bread and other prizes via a raffle—please bring cash for tickets, which benefit Dewey Hall. 

 

The emcee for the evening is Perry Grebin, a graphic designer and artist for screen and stage, and live music will be performed by the Michael Junkins Duo. The culinary judges will be Jean-Francois Bizalion of Bizalion's Fine Foods, Richard Bourdon of Berkshire Mountain Bakery, and Sarah Reynolds North of Found Bread. 

 

This event is supported in part by AutoBahn, DARE Bottleshop, and Rubiner's Cheesemongers. Dewey Hall is producing this event with the help of committee chair Evelyn Battaglia (Food Writer/Cookbook Editor/Berkshire Edge Special Projects Editor) and volunteer Sherri Gorelick (avid home baker and 2022 contest entrant!), who have offered their culinary expertise to the organizational team.
