Dutch Oven Baking

You've heard about baking bread in a dutch oven - the crispy crust, the bakery-quality results - but where do you even start?
This relaxed Sunday afternoon is designed for anyone curious about this simple, transformative method.
The Experience
Spend a Sunday afternoon with Babette, wrapping up the weekend with a glass of wine, warm bread, and hands-on learning.
Using prepared dough made with local flour, you'll learn to score and bake a beautiful artisan loaf in a dutch oven (no fancy equipment, no intimidation, just the fundamentals that work.
This session is beginner-friendly and deliberately relaxed. You'll understand why a dutch oven creates bakery-quality crust, what to look for when buying one, and how to use it with confidence.
​
While your loaf bakes and fills the studio with that unmistakable smell, we'll uncork the wine and talk bread.

Types of dutch ovens and what to buy (or skip)
