Two day bread making class - croissants, foccacia and an introduction to sourdough

Two-Day Bread Making Adventure – Children's Workshop

Join us for a hands-on two-day baking adventure as we discover the magic of bread making! This special workshop is spread over two days, giving our dough plenty of time to slowly prove, allowing children to experience authentic bread making from start to finish.

Over the course of the workshop, young bakers will create buttery croissants, soft and flavourful focaccia, and a simple sourdough loaf, while learning a range of traditional baking techniques. You will also have plenty of time to design your own breads.

Day One is all about preparing the dough. We'll mix, knead and laminate our croissant dough, make our focaccia and sourdough, and learn why time is one of the most important ingredients in great bread. Children will also bake a delicious loaf to take home that day and a few ‘designer bread rolls’.

Day Two is when the magic happens! We'll shape our dough using a variety of techniques (including lamination) before baking our croissants, focaccia and sourdough to golden perfection. There will be plenty of opportunities to practise different shaping methods and develop confidence as young bakers. And yes, you can make pain-au chocolate!!

Lunch is included on both days, and there will be lots of opportunities to enjoy some of our freshly baked bread straight from the oven.

All ingredients, equipment, and takeaway containers are provided, so children can bring home everything they make to share with family and friends.

Children are welcome to attend independently, or parents and carers can stay to watch or join in the fun. If your child has additional needs, is new to baking, or would simply feel more comfortable with some support, we encourage parents, carers, or older siblings to work alongside them if needed.

We look forward to two days filled with baking, learning, and the wonderful smell of freshly baked bread!

Please let us know about any food allergies, dietary requirements, or additional support needs when booking.

This is one of the very few classes we will not be able to make gluten free (so sorry) but we should be able to accommodate all other allergies and special diets.
