Learn to bake sourdough bread-sourdough bread courses

A bag of sourdough starter, sourdough bread and crackers to take home

Currently we have sourdough bread courses in West London, Leicester, Berkshire, North London and North Norfolk.

In this hands on course we will teach you how to bake sourdough bread so that you leave the class with an intuitive understanding of what it is, how it works and how to do it at home.

At the end of the Sourdough Bread Course we will have answered the following questions:

- how do I make and keep a sourdough starter

- how do I bake sourdough bread in my busy life

- how is sourdough bread different and more healthy

The Sourdough Bread Course is a full day.  During the day you will get very sticky and floury as you learn how to bake 100% rye sourdough bread, learn how to bake pain levain and and learn how to bake Swedish cracker bread.  An elegant lunch, scrummy tea, and drinks during the day are all included.  Naturally you will have lots of bread to take home as well as your very own sourdough starter.  The class numbers are limited so you learn in a cosy and intimate environment.  This enables you to ask lots of questions and receive a great deal of individual attention.

The cost is £125.00.

The sourdough bread course makes an excellent gift.  To buy a gift voucher, please contact us.

    I have taken a recent interest in starting to make my own bread - but I just don't know where to start! Reading about your mission and courses yesterday in the Sunday Mail came at the right time - I am also looking to do something else workwise ( I'm a nurse of 35 years!) - can you tell me if you are planning any courses in the North West London area or Berkshire or even Isle of Wight? Thanks Jayne

    I am so sorry, I have never heard of this ingredient for bread making on a craft level. Perhaps industrial bakers use it, but real bread does not contain it as far as I know. At least, I certainly don't use it and I don't know a baker who does. Sorry I cannot be more helpful.

    Do you see a time when you might be able to offer bread making courses North of the border?
