The smell of fresh bread baking is almost irresistible and so is the upcoming Central Lincoln County Adult Education course, "In the Know-In the Dough" offered Tuesday, March 28 from 5 to 8 p.m. at Nobleboro Central School.

This one -class will cover how to mix, knead, proof, and shape basic yeast dough and rolls. Participants will learn how to create cloverleaf rolls, butter crescents, cinnamon swirls, tea rings and whole wheat rolls, as well as how to shape loaves of bread. Various recipes will be shared and discussed. Each student will go home with a basket of yummy warm samples. All baking levels are welcome for this hands-on class. Students should bring an apron, rolling pin, cutting board and a plastic tub to fill and take home.

Instructor Debra Arter learned how to bake from her mom, a home economics teacher. She participates in cooking contests regularly and her loaves of bread often get blue ribbons at the Union Fair. Her enthusiasm for food and fun is contagious.

The cost of the course is $24 for online registrations received by March 21 and $29 for all other registrations. There is also an $8 materials fee payable to the instructor the night of class to cover the cost of ingredients to eat and take home and bake.
