Does anyone know of any sort of advanced or specialized bread baking classes or seminars being offered without having to travel to CIA I am already a capable baker working on my CJB certification but want to learn more rustic/european style breads possibly from a CMB.

Chefjefe2002:

It is not necessary to learn artisanal bread baking from a C.M.B. However, if you are interested in learning the science('formula balance' and chemistry) of bread baking, consider attending:

American Institute of Baking:

Kansas State University:
http://www.oznet.ksu.edu/dp_grsi/

You could also contact Artisan Bakers. They seem to know the Baking Team USA:

Chefjefe2002:
The San Francisco Baking Institute specializes in artisanal bread baking.

The Bread Bakers Guild of America is holding Camp Bread at the San Francisco Baking Institute during September 11-13, 2005, which quickly sold out, but there is a waiting list if an opening becomes available.
