Bourke Street Bakery started as a little rustic corner store bakery cafe in the winter of 2004 and over the years has grown to become a much loved Sydney staple.
Paul Allam and David McGuinness were chefs turned bakers who shared a love of good food and an appreciation of all things handmade. They also shared a dream of opening a little cafe bakery where everything would be made by hand with dedication and love.
We make everything by hand with the best possible ingredients, from sourdoughs to pastries and cakes. A combination of great produce, good strong coffee, artisanal skill and hard work creates the honest, soulful, delectable bites that have made Bourke Street Bakery famous.
Learn to harvest yeast from nature to make a sourdough starter which can then be developed into a myriad of bread and pastry products.
Bread was good to us for thousands of years, but today bread is seen as a problem in our diets. This session looks at the WHY modern bread may cause digestive and other problems and give you the skills to bake your own additive-free bread.
When you complete the Certificate III in Bread Baking you will be able to start work as a baker.
