In this three day progressive workshop, which is open to all levels of bakers, you will gain hands-on experience and confidence to bake a variety of incredible breads! Kathy relays step by step techniques paired with much discussion of chemistry, thus eliminating the fear of bread making.

You will be working with straight method dough as well as starter dough. You will be making pan breads as well as many hand shaped loaves and braids.

The itinerary for the three days include classic French bread, brioche, sweet dough braids, sticky buns, fougasse, English muffins, Ciabatta, roasted red pepper, challah, olive, pain de champagne (country French bread), Italian cheese bread, Russian rye, biscuits and much more. Each day lunch will be incorporated into the class as well as a breakfast bread.

Please bring a chef's jacket or apron, a scale (available at Cooks' Wares), a plastic flexible scraper, brown lunch bags to take home your breads each day, and a medium sized bowl for your dough.
