Saint Paul Bread Club (SPBC) 2008 Bake-Off (April 26, 2008)
Bake-Off Categories
The Bake-Off had ten declared categories plus a special cateory:
- French/Italian
- Multigrain/Whole Wheat
- Rye
- Sourdough
- Sweet Dough
- Cracker Bread/Lavosh
- Quick Breads
- Chocolate Bread
- Challah
- Other
The special category was “Preserved” so that people who were unable to bake immediately before the bake-off could enter breads that had been baked and frozen and then thawed for the bake-off.

Other Awards
There was no “Peoples’ Choice Award” this year.
I’m still trying to piece together the sweepstakes awards, which did not have a record sheet of their own.
Other Notes
The April 26, 2008 Bake-Off meeting had about 47 people attending. I counted about 79 entries in all the categories combined. (The number of attendees was down significantly from the 80 last year, but the number of entries was only down from 90 to 79.)
