In the second half I’ll be talking to Kristina Vanni LIVE from Manhattan Kansas and The 2013 National Festival of Breads.
Eight home bakers from across the nation will come to Manhattan June 20-22 to participate in the National Festival of Breads, America’s only amateur bread baking contest. The biennial contest – sponsored by the Kansas Wheat Commission, King Arthur Flour and Fleischmann’s Yeast – celebrates the relationship between producer and consumer and highlights the art of baking bread at home.
The bakers will prepare their original bread recipes in miniature kitchens at the Hilton Garden Inn and Convention Center in Manhattan. One contestant will emerge as the 2013 champion and earn a prize package worth nearly $5,000, including cash, an expense-paid trip to King Arthur Flour Baking Education Center in Norwich, Vermont and a year’s supply of Fleischmann’s Yeast.
