A hands-on baking experience in a small group setting
Service Description
Limited to 4 participants Spend a relaxed and rewarding day at The Bakehouse learning how to make sourdough bread and focaccia from scratch. This hands-on workshop is designed to give you a real understanding of the baking process, with plenty of time to practice, ask questions, and build confidence.

During the workshop, you will be guided through the essential stages of making sourdough and focaccia, including: - mixing and handling dough - understanding hydration and fermentation - shaping dough for strength and structure - scoring your loaf before baking - proofing techniques and timing - preparing focaccia for a soft, airy texture By learning how dough should look, feel, and respond at each stage, you will gain practical knowledge that you can confidently use in your own kitchen. What Is Included Each participant will leave with a valuable set of tools, ingredients, and resources to continue baking at home: - a sourdough starter - flour for feeding your starter - essential baking tools, including a professional banneton - your own sourdough loaf, shaped and baked during the workshop - fresh dough for both bread and focaccia to use at home - step-by-step written instructions - practical tips for troubleshooting and improving your results - continued support after the workshop at no extra cost As part of the day, you will enjoy a freshly prepared meal featuring fresh focaccia sandwiches. Espresso-based drinks and other refreshments are also included. It is a simple and enjoyable way to pause, share the experience, and enjoy the results of the day. This class is well suited to: - beginners who want to learn in a clear and supportive environment - home bakers who want to strengthen their skills - anyone interested in traditional bread making - those who value small group learning and personal guidance No previous experience is needed. Why Choose This Workshop This workshop is about more than following a recipe. It is about helping you understand the process, feel comfortable working with dough, and leave with the tools and confidence to bake again at home. You will go home with your own starter, dough, loaf, equipment, and a solid foundation in sourdough and focaccia baking.
