French Baking

French Baking

From the delicious crunch of a crusty traditional baguette to the soft, rich taste of brioche, fresh artisan bread is an integral part of daily life in France.

By the end of this practical one-day course you’ll have the skills, knowledge and confidence to bake a selection of authentic French loaves in your own kitchen.

Guided by our artisan baking tutor Emmanuel Hadjiandreou, an internationally renowned baker and author of the award-winning How To Make Bread, you’ll be given the opportunity to make your own doughs and master shaping, moulding and cutting techniques.

No previous baking experience is required; just enthusiasm and a willingness to work alongside other food lovers to make fresh French bread. During this hands-on course, you will be baking:

• Brioche
• Pain de Campagne
• Baguettes
• Pain d’epi

The School of Artisan Food is nestled in the heart of Sherwood Forest on The Welbeck Estate, Nottinghamshire, just a few minutes from the A1 and M1.

Your bread will be available to take home and enjoy at the end of the day. The School of Artisan Food makes a conscious effort to reduce waste and packaging. Students are encouraged to bring their own containers to transport their bread home.

Refreshments will be available throughout the day, as well as a buffet style lunch prepared by our catering team.  All ingredients, equipment and recipes will be provided.
