This session is for those of you who want to learn the very basics of bread baking or who need a little help with your confidence as bakers or some reassurance for what you’re already doing. We will be baking a wholewheat loaf (or spelt if you have intolerance). While we wait for the dough to rise we will experiment with some simple unleavened (no yeast) breads, we’ll tell bread stories and you’ll have a chance to grind your own flour with our stone mill. By the end of the workshop you will receive your own handmade loaf, some other treats and basic recipes from the Hornbeam Bakers’ Collective to carry on your baking journey. Cost £20. Booking essential. Please book in advance to reserve a place at hornbeambakers@gmail.com
