Try your hand at making bread for the Woods County Fair

The Oklahoma Wheat Commission is sponsoring their annual Bread Baking Contest at county fairs throughout Oklahoma. The Woods County Free Fair will be held Sept. 7-9.

The Oklahoma Wheat Commission and the Oklahoma Wheat Grower’s Association provide awards for this contest. These items will be displayed along with the entries at the Woods County Fair Baking Division in the Women's Building.

Two recipes for each entry must accompany the product when exhibited at the state fair. The recipe must be typed or printed and include cooking or baking time and temperature, with the participants name and social security number on the recipe card.

Please wrap recipes in clear plastic wrap or put in a clear, plastic baggy. Recipes become the property of the Oklahoma Wheat Commission, including publication rights.

At the county level, a person may enter in each of the baking classes and are eligible to win first in each class; however, the same person can not receive Champion and Reserve Champion.

• If a loaf of bread is entered, the whole loaf will be exhibited. NO HALF LOAVES.

• Participants will be responsible for entering their own products at the Oklahoma State Fair. Social security numbers should be available for state competition.

Classes available for entry are the Senior Division: White Bread, Whole Grain Bread, 3 Dinner Rolls, other Wheat Breads, Sweet Breads, and Bread Machine Bread. In the Junior Division: White Bread, 3 Dinner Rolls, other Wheat Breads, Sweet Breads, Specialty Shapes and Bread Machine Bread. Bread Machine breads will not compete for division winners. NO QUICK BREADS.

These classes are in the Senior Division (18 years of age and over) and the Junior Division offers Specialty Shapes. Ribbons will be provided for the first four placings in each class. First-place winners in each class will compete for "Best of Show Wheat Award."

Entry procedures are the same this year. Exhibitors should stop by the OSU Extension Center for a copy of the fair book with the guidelines.
