Amazing Artisan Homemade Bread

Learn how rewarding baking at home can be. If you've never baked before or a baker looking for ways to build your skills-this class is really useful.

Baking great bread at home is such a useful and rewarding skill to learr.  The results can give you deliciously full-flavoured bread.

This class aims to dispel the myth that baking is a hard process – demanding crack-of-dawn starts and hours of kneading, and even then, fraught with possibility of failure!  We will show you that baking can be an incredibly easy and therapeutic process that you can easily fit into your daily routine.

If you’ve never baked before – or you’re a baker lover and looking for ways to build on your skills – this class is really useful.

In this class you will:-
