Introduction to Artisan Bread

​

Before the trends. Before the complexity. There was just bread.

Flour. Water. Salt. Time. Four ingredients that have nourished humanity for thousands of years, across every culture, every continent, every kitchen. No equipment. No shortcuts. No sourdough starter that needs feeding like a pet.

Just bread. Real bread. And the quiet satisfaction of knowing how to make it. This is where your bread journey begins, and where it should begin.

Not because we're telling you to slow down, but because once you understand this, everything else opens up.

Preferments. Sourdough. Specialty breads from every corner of the world. All of it becomes possible, and none of it feels intimidating, because you built your foundation properly.

The country loaf is not a fashion bread. It is what people bake every week, the loaf that earns its place on the table without asking for applause.

This is the bread you will learn to make here.shaping, and baking your first country loaf : bread you'll actually want to eat.

​

The Experience:

Work alongside Babette  in her dedicated bread studio for  five hours of unhurried craft - devoted to getting it right from the start.

​

You'll spend most of your time with your hands in dough. Mixing, shaping, understanding and learning to read the dough rather than just follow a recipe.

Midway through, we pause for a proper lunch. Curated charcuterie, fine cheeses, your choice of red or white wine. The kind of meal that reminds you why bread has always been at the center of the table.

You'll leave with two loaves: one freshly baked, one prepared dough to bake in your own kitchen. And the confidence to keep going.

Start here, and the rest becomes possible.
