Eating fresh local food year-round can be a challenge for residents of Southwestern Pennsylvania. Opportunities to do so can be realized with knowledge and preparation.

Our 5th annual conference is aimed at educating consumers about the methods of growing, sourcing, cooking and preserving locally grown food. It’s good for our health and keeps our local economy strong.

Farm to Table Pittsburgh is part of a family business that is dedicated to empowering consumers to make smart choices concerning the direction of their health.

We’d love to hear your feedback! Stop by the American HealthCare Group booth or look for our online post-event survey.

Free Form Artisan Loavesfrom Rosary Acres

Ingredients

DirectionsThis is a great loaf for all you Ciabatta lovers!Dissolve yeast in warm water. Add water/yeast combo to flour/salt combo. Mix with heavy spoon. This is a wet dough. Cover and let rise for 2 hours. Turn dough out onto floured surface, and fold over several times. Divide into two pieces and form each into a football shaped loaf.Put on greased cookie sheet or baking stone and let raise another hour. Score if desired and bake in a 450 ° oven for 25 minutes. Hint: for a nice crust on breads “proof” your oven by setting an empty metal cake pan on the top rack. When it is time to bake the bread, carefully pour a cup of water into pan. It will sizzle! Leave it in the oven while your bread bakes. The steam really helps a nice, thick crust to form.

3 cups of warm water2 tbsp. of yeast.6 ½ Cups of unbleached Swany White Organic flour, or your 50/50 proof organic bread flour1 tbsp. of Real salt
