Italian Bread Making

Bread making is a skill that requires some patience, but when you master some basic techniques, you will be able to make many different products. In this class we will be making two very popular and versatile breads from Italy.

You will make a dough from scratch and practice kneading. You will take your dough home to practice on too. Using a dough that has been maturing for 48 hours, you will make and bake two types of Italian Bread in the class:

Focaccia – This bread requires a delicate touch to achieve a light fluffy bread. We will use classic flavours rosemary and garlic, and we will experiment with other toppings.

Pizza bread– A thin crispy pizza base is a great thing to be able to make and is a family favourite that allows you to be creative with a range of toppings and flavours.

This is a hands-on cooking class. All dishes made can be taken away and enjoyed at home.

This workshop will be led by our Community Chef Iain McLellan, a skilled and talented Head Chef with over 20 years cooking experience. Iain is passionate about world cuisines and sharing his love of flavour combinations.

Some cooking skills are required to enjoy this workshop i.e. basic knife skills. Please bring some containers to take home your food. If you have any dietary requirements or allergies, please let us know when you are booking.
