100% , this course is for you! Mixing, kneading and fermentation will be explained in detail and I will trouble shoot along the way. This is a solutions based course. You will be baking delicious, light and airy loaves in no time, I promise.
Clear timings are provided with each step of the process. I have included sample time schedules so you can easily fit it into your life. I find it easier to break up bread making into two days. In this way I can fit it into my lifestyle. I often do most of the prep the evening before and then bake the bread the next morning/afternoon. Also a couple of hours of baking bread is very therapeutic and the perfect escape.Allow yourself the time you deserve it.

Artisan breads are breads that have been made using traditional methods and ingredients. They are made with a bit more love. With Artisan breads you will be adding more flavour by using techniques like pre-ferments and over night fermentation techniques. The addition of ancient grains, seeds and flours means these breads are healthy, nutritious and tasty. One of the joys of baking breads is using your creativity. Beautiful decorative scoring techniques make these breads unique and stand out from a regular loaf! No two Artisan loaves are the exact same.
