The slow process of preparing and baking a naturally fermented sourdough loaf is one of the great pleasures in life. From the mixing and shaping, to baking and tasting, and especially to sharing this experience with others who love it just as much... a deep dive into bread chat ahoy!
This one day course is suitable for beginners or anyone already baking and wanting to improve the consistency of their bakes. We will cover the fundamentals and process in depth, with plenty of hands-on time making our own loaves. You'll leave with new skills, experience and confidence to make your own bread at home.
At the end of the day you will take home your loaf in a banneton ready to pop into your fridge and bake the next day, along with other items we have baked during the day.
The workshop includes refreshments and a light lunch, a banneton and a dough scraper, and your course notes to support you after the class (and I'm always here for further questions and troubleshooting of course). Other tools will be available for purchase.
Bring an apron and a large bag for the spoils, and I'll provide the rest.
Classes will take place in my bakery in Clarence House, in central Penzance, and run from 9.30am until 4pm.

Frequently Asked Questions
What if I can't make it to collect on the day I've pre-chosen?
Let me know as soon as possible and if I can help by amending the order collection time/day I will
Are there any other times other than those stipulated I could come to the Bakery to collect orders?
I bake everything to be ready for collection at the times stipulated, but get in touch if you have a specific request and if I can help I will. There is a possibility of leaving the goods in a lock up box outside Clarence House for those who need to come outside of work hours.
I have some allergies, how can I tell if the food will be ok for me?
Please note that I use nuts, seeds, milk and eggs in some recipes baked in my kitchen. Allergens are marked in the ingredients list for each product in bold, but please email me if you have any questions.

The easiest thing to do is to email me through the contact page on this site and I will do what I can to help.
