Do you finally want to crack on and learn how to make your own bread at home?
Our ‘Bread: Back to Basics’ class is a day-long bread experience. In a world where real bread is so hard to come by, this course will equip you to make consistently good, wholesome bread at home. This hands-on course takes bread back to its essential ingredients – flour, water, salt and yeast – and teaches you a great repertoire of beautiful breads based on these basic building blocks.
Good bread is best made slowly, so throughout the course you’ll be introduced to techniques for building superior flavour, texture, nutrition, and keeping quality into your bread using the best ingredient around: time.
This is a hands on course, and Loaf will share tips and techniques throughout the day. You’ll learn everything from which ingredients and equipment to use, and arm you with all the tools and confidence to bake at home. There’ll be plenty to take home at the end of the day to share (or keep to yourself!)
Our next bread class takes place on Saturday 10th May and starts promptly at 9.30am and finishes around 4pm. Look at our website for more information and to get yourself booked in!
