First time bread bakers, join us as we make a selection of yeasted breads that can be made in an afternoon with little or no bread experience required! Think dinner rolls, focaccia, pan/sandwiches loaves. All of which use commercial yeast & easy to source flours and ingredients.
What to expect:
Class will include some demo and some hands-on time with dough.
Learn about proofing, how to shape different types of bread, and best baking practices.
You’ll leave the class with recipes, tools, and tips to be an expert home baker.
Lots of bread to snack on at the end of class!
CLASS DATE: Sunday, May 5th, 2024, 2 -4 pm
