Bread Making

Description - In our popular bread making class, you will knead, pummel and stretch your way to the perfect loaf. We will introduce you to a range of flours and you will learn about using fresh and dried yeast to make a variety of doughs for different types of bread. Once you have learned these basic doughs, you can experiment at home with different shapes and adding extra flavours to them.

At the end of the lesson you will get to enjoy tasting all the freshly baked breads you have made. You will also leave the class with a bag of dough to bake at home and plenty of new skills.

Pastry

Description - In this pastry class, you will master the techniques needed to make and use perfect pastry every time. Called ‘a perfect pastry lesson’ by The Financial Times, our pastry class will take you from the basics to more advanced techniques.

After a welcome snack or breakfast, depending on the time of day, you will watch a demonstration on how to make and use choux pastry and puff pastry. Students then make their own puff pastry and shortcrust or sweet shortcrust pastry. Each student will then choose whether they would like to use their shortcrust or sweet shortcrust to make either an apple pie, vegetable quiche or Cornish pasty. This will be taken home, along with the puff pastry you have made.
