Join Hannah, RTR's biscuit baker extraordinaire, to learn her tips and tricks for baking biscuits in the outdoor Cobb oven!
About this event:
A Cobb oven is an earthen oven made of clay, straw and other natural materials and is one of the oldest methods of baking.

All participants will bring home the biscuits they make! Gluten and/or dairy free biscuit options available. Email hannah@revivetheroots.org if you would like to make gluten free or dairy free biscuits.
