Basic and Artisan Bread
£235.00
Course Date: 26th June 2024
Due to popular demand we are offering a course for beginners, home bakers and those who wish to build confidence coupled with learning more advanced techniques in our bread making workshop.
You will make a variety of different basic and artisan breads, using two different doughs, containing two different heritage grains from our selection. You will also have the opportunity to mill some of these heritage grains in our specialist milling machine. Seasonal ingredients and wild herbs will be used according to the time of year.
You will make one dough with oil and one without, giving you the opportunity to experience the difference between these two doughs and working with them and taste.
Our breads also incorporate sourdough preferment, which enhances the nutritional value of the bread, and is an ideal way to get the health benefits of sourdough in a shorter time.
