ARTISTS’ BAKE SALE FOR MOCA: TUESDAY 12-2pm
(Because of the rain we are rescheduling the bake sale to Tuesday, December
16.)

MOCA needs tens of millions of dollars, and we want to get the ball rolling
- the day the board meets – with a bake sale!

We’re a group of independent artists and bakers who want to help MOCA
survive as an independent institution.

WHEN: Tuesday, December 16 from 12-2pm
WHERE: 250 S. Grand Ave. (on the sidewalk in front of MOCA)

All proceeds will be contributed to MOCA.

Before and after: Dough like taffy. Delicious like Focaccia. Sullivan Street’s Potato Pizza, recipe courtesy of Artisan Baking Across America by Maggie Glezer.
Note: That’s four pounds of potatoes, for those that care.

The Works: It’s the leftovers – smoked salmon, avocado, Parmesan Cheese, tomatoes, red onions, capers, salt and pepper. The 7 oz. dough was made using iced water, flour, salt, and instant yeast. Then it was frozen in a personal sized Ziploc, defrosted in the fridge for 24 hours and proofed at room temperature for 3. When stretched out it was so thin and see-though it looked like a huge version of the windowpane test photo. After cooking it for 7 minutes at 500 degrees, the crust snapped like a dry bone upon contact with our teeth.
