Bread: the product of mixing flour, water, salt, and yeast, harnessed by centuries of bakers. From 10000 BC to today, humanity has chased the perfect crust—crisp exterior, tender crumb, and that irresistible aroma. In 2026, bread making spans the globe, yet supermarket loaves often feel overpriced and bland.

The truth is simple: making your own bread is cheaper, tastier, and free from artificial additives and plastic packaging.

Join this hands-on workshop to demystify the science and art of home-baked bread in a friendly, supportive setting. You’ll learn fail-proof methods from experienced home bakers, guided by Verena, whose traditional craft knowledge is delivered with warmth and wit.

In two hours inside a professional kitchen, you’ll dough, shape, proof, and bake, leaving with a belly-full of crusty loaf, a yeasty cake, and practical recipes to keep your oven busy. A confident baker’s toolkit awaits.

Limited to 12 participants. Bookings are essential and close Wednesday, 13th May at 2pm. Book Now
