Love the smell and taste of freshly baked bread? This fun and practical taster session is a great opportunity to roll up your sleeves and have a go at making your own.

There’s something special about homemade bread, and during this session you’ll discover the satisfaction of creating three different varieties – leavened flavoured (flowerpot) bread, plaited soda bread and focaccia.

Working alongside your tutor, you’ll explore different bread-making techniques and learn more about the role of ingredients such as yeast and different flours, as well as how time and preparation can influence the finished bread.

You’ll pick up plenty of useful hints and tips along the way, helping you build the skills and confidence to continue baking at home. Best of all, you’ll take home what you make, along with recipe cards so you can recreate your favourites for family and friends.

No previous bread-making experience is needed - just come along and enjoy having a go!

What will I learn?

During the session, you’ll learn some of the basic techniques used in bread making, while creating three different breads:

  • Leavened Flavoured (Flowerpot) Bread
  • Plaited Soda Bread
  • Focaccia

You’ll explore how different flours and ingredients affect the finished bread, practise simple preparation and shaping techniques, and pick up useful hints and tips to help you recreate the recipes confidently at home.
