Learn how to make classic French breads from scratch in this in-depth, hands-on workshop.
Our trained chef and baking instructor will teach students how to bake classic baguettes, rustic herbed fougasse, and the ultimate enriched bread: brioche.
Topics we’ll cover in class include: what is a pre-ferment, how to make and use a poolish, how to shape baguettes and epi bread, stone baking method for baguettes, and working with heavily enriched doughs.
We will be working with more advanced yeast bread techniques and pre-ferments, so some knowledge of bread baking is helpful, but not required.
