Sandwich Loaf Workshop Adult Hands On April 4, 2026 10A-2P TTK Home Space $85 Register here

A few ingredients, a bit of planning and a little technique can bring just-baked bread to your kitchen! In this class, we’ll explore preferments, mixing dough for gluten development, find out why the gluten needs to be developed, as well as why temperature is important. You will mix dough to finish at home, shape loaves to finish in class, and while we wait for things to rise, throw together some crackers.

Menu: Honey Oat Loaf, Rustic Loaf, Seedy Whole Grain Crackers

Contains gluten.

Our Instructor

Lisa Crawford thinks everyone should spend time in the kitchen. Growing up in the Puget Sound region, in a busy kitchen-centered home with a large vegetable garden, profuse berry patches and fruit trees close at hand, she knows where good food comes from, and that anyone can learn to cook or bake! After graduating Cum Laude in Social Sciences & K-8 Education, Lisa’s path led her through elementary school teaching, small business finance, back to her roots in the kitchen as line cook, pastry professional and caterer. Drawing from all her experiences, she started The Tiny Kitchen, a small cooking school whose mission is to empower young and old to be successful in the kitchen. Through The Tiny Kitchen and other organizations, Lisa teaches classes throughout the greater Seattle area.

Lisa’s love of ingredients keeps her seeking what’s local and amazing, through farmer’s markets, food hubs, Washington State University’s Bread Lab, class collaborations with other chef-instructors, and networking via such organizations as Fields Oceans Ranches Kitchens Stewards (FORKS), Washington Women in Food Systems and the Bread Bakers Guild of America.  When she’s not teaching, Lisa is busy bringing sourdough bread and other pastries, all made from locally-grown, locally-milled flours, to area Farmer’s Markets.

Lisa believes the best ingredients are grown locally, can be prepared simply, to be enjoyed most thoroughly as a meal, in community.
