This demonstration-style bread class will enable you to bake real bread at home using your domestic ovens.

Two types of bread will be made in this class, showing each step along the way. A classic sourdough, as well as a crusty yeasted bread will be a part of this course. 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.

This demonstration class is limited to 12 people.
