On this fantastic one day course, our team of River Cottage chefs will explain the ins and outs of baking, aiming to inspire you to abandon ready-sliced loaves for a world of delicious breads baked at home.
The day is very hands on, and is built around the Bread Handbook basic bread method . We will show you how this can be adapted with infinite variations, to give you complete confidence to become master of your own bakery. The course will cover other breads such as foccacia, ciabatta and flatbreads, as well as pizza, which you will bake in our wood-fired oven, and eat as part of an informal lunch, along with dishes prepared by the River Cottage Kitchen. We will also show you how to create and nurture you own wild yeast starter.
Included in the price of the ticket is a copy of the River Cottage Bread handbook, written by Daniel Stevens.
Our Bread tutors may include Gideon Hitchin (creator of our popular Build & Bake course) and Nonie Dwyer (sous chef and tutor of our brand *new* Gluten, Wheat and Dairy Free course). Above is a drop down menu with a list of available dates. On the dates that Daniel Stevens is our tutor, the day will have 'with Dan' attached.
