🍞✨ Tips for Submitting Your Bread Entry in the Battle of the Breads! ✨🍞

Ready to enter the Battle of the Breads? Here are some key tips to ensure your sourdough entry stands out:

Use a Paper Bag: Protect the integrity of your loaf by submitting it in a clean paper or canvas bag. This helps maintain its texture and appearance!

Include Your Recipe & Ingredients: Don’t forget to provide a detailed list of ingredients along with your recipe, ensuring that your bread includes sourdough as the base and no additional leavening. This is essential for judging and adds a personal touch to your entry!

Specify Your Entry Type: Clearly indicate if you’re submitting a Classic Sourdough Loaf or a Specialty Sourdough Loaf (with added ingredients like nuts or cheeses).

Identify Yourself: Be sure to include your name and age on your entry form, along with how long you’ve been baking sourdough. This helps us celebrate both your bread and your baking journey!

Pro or Home Baker?: Specify whether you’re a professional or home baker—so we can recognize your skills in the right category!

📅 Submission Deadline: October 18th
📍 Event Date: October 20th

Bring your best loaf to the table and show off your sourdough skills! 🍞🎉
