Which bread baking classes can I take?

Bread baking classes differ by dough method, type of bread and skill level:

• Sourdough bread baking: You start a sourdough starter, feed it and bake a loaf without any yeast – in many classes you take the starter home with you.
• Bread baking class for beginners: Flour basics, kneading, folding, shaping and scoring – step by step to your first yeast loaf.
• Bread baking for advanced bakers: Pre-shaping, tightening, steaming in a home oven and working with proofing baskets for rustic loaves.
• Pretzels, rolls and buns: Twisting classic lye pastries such as Bavarian pretzels and shaping Sunday rolls and seeded buns.
• Wholegrain, spelt and speciality breads: Ancient-grain spelt from freshly milled flour, protein and wholegrain breads, and gluten-free loaves with custom flour blends.
• Bread baking with food: Classes with a hearty spread, Obazda cheese dip, homemade spreads or pickles combine baking with eating together.
• Group and team events: Some partners bake with groups of 12 to 80 people – ideal for companies and as a Christmas party.

Bread baking class: What you will learn

In a bread baking class you learn the fundamentals of bread with a crisp crust and an airy crumb:

• Understanding flour types, extraction rates and dough hydration
• Starting and feeding a sourdough starter and storing it correctly
