Bread Baking Master Class, with Lou Jones of BritBreads

Join Lou Jones of BritBreads for the essential tutorial on making delicious yeasted and sourdough bread at home. Lou’s impeccable culinary background as well as his informative and entertaining teaching style make his classes the best of all worlds – real learning, great food and a good time. This demonstration-style bread class will inspire you to bake real bread at home using your domestic oven. The only special equipment you would need is a cast iron Dutch oven with a tight-fitting lid, an item that every well-stocked home kitchen should have.

Two types of bread will be made in this class, showing each step along the way – a classic sourdough and a crusty yeasted bread. Naturally you’ll taste the results served up with the best quality butter while you ask questions and discuss the end-product with Chef Lou. Even though this class is taught by a master baker, you will leave with the information and confidence to expand your bread-baking skills in your own kitchen.

This demonstration class is limited to 10 people.
