SOSA Demonstration – Delifresh 18/07/2012

Having had someone cancel a SOSA Demonstration I gave Delifresh the Challenge of Hosting a SOSA Demonstration with only Three weeks notice…

These guys are defiantly on the ball and would recommend anyone to use them.

The Demonstration was based around a small selection of SOSA Basic Key ingredients.

Here are a selection of Photographs & some of the recipes from the Day (I will be adding a Video to this post ASAP).

  • 405ml Water
  1. Combine all the ingredients with a hand blender.
  2. Leave to ferment at 45C for 50 minutes
  3. Spread the dough out thin over a non stick surface. (More like a genouise sponge mix than a bread dough).
  4. Bake it at 180C for 15mins

We baked some of the mix in a deep Sponge tin it came out like a Crumpet.

I also want to Thank Jing Wang who came up from Cambridge & helped me with the Demonstration receiving a little hands on SOSA training. Always happy for a little help.
