Yes, I think the best way to proceed with the volunteer schedule is to rotate shifts every two weeks so no one gets burned out. We have about fifteen people confirmed, so we could do five teams of three. Each team handles one Saturday morning shift per month. The youth group offered to help with setup and cleanup, so we should incorporate them as support. Also, I reached out to the city about the permits and they said we need to submit the site plan by next Thursday. We should finalize the layout this week. Let me know if you want me to draft an email to the volunteers with the assignments.

One more thing – the budget for supplies is approved, but we still need to decide on the portable restroom vendor. I got quotes from two companies; the difference is minimal, but one includes daily servicing. I’ll forward the proposals so you can compare.

About the recipe you asked for – I’ve been using a simple no-knead bread formula that requires very little effort. You just combine 3 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 ½ teaspoons of salt, ½ teaspoon of yeast, and 1 ½ cups of lukewarm water. Mix until a shaggy dough forms, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rest for 12 to 18 hours at room temperature. Then turn it onto a floured surface, fold a few times, and let it rest for 30 minutes. Preheat your oven to 450°F with a covered Dutch oven inside for 30 minutes. Careful: after preheating, carefully place the dough into the hot pot, cover, and bake for 30 minutes. Then remove the lid and bake for another 15 minutes. The crust comes out beautiful and the inside is airy.

It works with whole wheat or rye too, just adjust the hydration slightly. Let me know if you try it – I’d love to hear how it turns out.
