Bagel Mondays @ Sour Flour Lab

Danny from Sour Flour has a great passion for baking. He is working on giving away one thousand loaves of free bread baked fresh from his home kitchen. He also gives free baking classes. I spent a couple of Monday mornings in the Sour Flour lab baking bagels with Danny. The bagels are very good. He is steady honing his system everyday in the Sour Flour Lab.




Sour Flour gives away free bagels every Monday. Contact for more info. info@sourflour.org
