Throughout history, bread has been an important food staple. The virtually infinite combinations of different flours and proportions of ingredients have resulted in a wide array of bread around the world.
There are few smells better than fresh bread, straight from the oven. While bread uses just 4 key ingredients – flour, water, yeast, and salt – the method of making it is essential in determining the quality.
In this workshop, we discuss the science behind bread making, techniques to create the best flavour and texture, and why ‘slow’ baking is so much healthier for you than mass and fast-produced bread. You will make a variety of breads and learn how to handle different dough textures.
While the day’s menu may change with the seasons and availability of ingredients, you can expect to make bread such as:
