Introduction to Artisan Bread

Artisan Bread Workshop: The Foundations

​

​This is where your bread journey begins. You'll learn the fundamentals of real bread -the ingredients, techniques, and the simple process that's nourished humanity for thousands of years.

If someone asked "where do I start my artisan bread journey?" - the answer would be here.

We'll explore what happened to bread in the industrial era and why returning to traditional methods matters for your family's health and connection to food.

But this isn't a lecture: you'll spend most of your time hands-on, mixing, shaping, and baking your first country loaf. 

​

The Experience:

Over the course of the workshop, you'll learn alongside Babette Kourelos (published author, international bread judge).

​

Tea and coffee flow throughout the session, and midway through we pause for a proper lunch: a thoughtfully curated charcuterie with fine cheeses, accompanied by your choice of red or white wine.

You'll leave with two loaves ...one freshly baked to enjoy immediately, and a second prepared dough to bake in your own kitchen, extending the learning beyond the workshop.

​

What You'll Learn:

​

• The essential ingredients and techniques of artisan bread

• How to mix, shape, and bake a classic country loaf

• Why traditional bread differs from industrial bread (and why it matters)

• The confidence to continue baking at home
