Learn how to make the finest viennoiserie and puff pastry, from classic products to modern creations, on this comprehensive five-day course, led by French master baker Mickael Jahan.

This intensive hands-on course has been developed for existing bakers, chefs, business start-ups and advanced home bakers, who are aiming to master the fundamentals of Viennoiserie, enriched dough and lamination. In addition, the course will explore new techniques and approaches reflecting current trends.

Over the days Mickael will share his extensive skills and knowledge developed during prestigious baking roles in both France and London, including at Maison Blanc and Paul’s Bakery.

Students will participate in each and every stage of the production process to create and to bake a range of products including:

Laminated dough (yeasted):

  • Croissants
  • Pains aux chocolat
  • Swirls
  • Savoury danishes
  • Cruffins
  • Almonds croissants
