Bread Making
Book onto one of our bread making classes...
Fill your home with the smell of freshly baked bread. Our Traditional Bread courses will take you back thousands of years when all baking was done by hand. Learn how to knead, prove and bake like a chef to produce the freshest loaf.
Learn to bake bread like a pro with us on our bread baking classes.
We have four classes to choose from:
- Basic bread dough: soda bread , shaped bread rolls, wholemeal loaf
- Enriched dough: brioche, Danish pastries and croissants, pain de mie.
- Farmhouse bread: classic cobber, farmhouse sandwich loaf, sourdough
- Harvest bread: harvest wheatsheaf, sweet dried fruit bread, mixed seeds bread
In each class you will consolidate your basic skills and develop your understanding of the advanced techniques. You’ll soon be baking delicious loaves from scratch.
You’ll learn about the different kinds of flour, kneading techniques, and baking temperatures. From the first tearing of the bread apart and the touch of softness inside, you’ll be in bakers’ heaven. Finally, learn how to store and freeze your bread so you can enjoy that fresh-baked feeling whenever you like time and time again.
