The art of bread making...

We believe there’s nothing more enjoyable or more stress-relieving for your team than the art of baking bread. Using just four simple ingredients flour, yeast, water, and salt you’ll learn how to create a variety of delicious bread styles. Our Bread Masterclass is a fun, hands-on experience that teaches essential artisan techniques and elevate your baking skills.

We begin with a classic French hand-mixing technique, preparing our first dough and setting it aside to prove while we move on to other bakes. Guests will learn how and why we use starters to create loaves with a light, open crumb, a glossy finish, and a crisp crust. While the dough rises, we’ll make a Guinness, apple, and walnut soda bread, followed by a selection of breads using the dough prepared earlier.

The group will then learn essential slashing and scoring techniques, including the “crier du pain” (“scream of the bread”), and how to achieve both softer crusts and perfectly crisp croûte du pain. Time permitting, we’ll also make a roasted garlic, rosemary, and sea salt focaccia using pre-prepared dough, before a lively pizza-tossing relay challenge.

While the bread bakes, guests will make their own salted butter and create a sourdough starter (“the baby”) using apples, alongside a sourdough demonstration using a 12-year-old starter. The session concludes with a bread display and optional light-hearted judging. Guests will take home their baked bread, sourdough starter in a jar, plus a set of recipes and care instructions
