The art of bread making...

Guests learn the art of bread making and make their own bread and butter!

The activity begins with a demonstration by our bread chef where guests will learn bread making tips, tricks and kneading techniques to make a yeast risen loaf. Guests then use what they’ve learnt to mix their recipes, knead their dough and leave it to prove. While loaves are proving, guests make a soda bread as well as their own homemade hand-churned butter!

Once loaves are proved to perfection our bread chef will give another demonstration on how to knock back and form their dough into different shapes. Guests can then choose to make a classic square tin loaf, a round cob, bread rolls, or they can really get creative by plaiting or shaping their dough. While loaves are in the oven, we’ll keep guests amused with some fascinating facts about bread and a fun “use your loaf” quiz!

At the end of the event, each guest will have made two loaves of bread and a block of butter. We’ll give everybody the recipes and instructions so that they can use their newfound skills at home. The event concludes with a wonderful display of different loaves where a winner can be chosen. Guests can then enjoy their bread together or we’ll give them bags to take their bread home in.
