Why Breadmaking workshops?
There are many breadmaking processes and techniques. I will show you my methods for making and handling dough, with tips and advice along the way that will help you to achieve a good loaf. My experience will help you discover the most useful tips and techniques for your own breadmaking journey. These workshops progress step by step using traditional handmaking methods and techniques .
While learning and baking together in a group the conversation will revolve around bread, ingredients, techniques and bread stories.
No experience necessary, any skill level welcome and you will take your freshly baked bread home.
