Workshop Programme
9.30-10am We start the workshop with introductions and refreshments.
10am Monique will take you through the basic ingredients and processes.
10.30am We then get stuck in; the morning is spent mixing doughs, learning to knead, bulk fermenting the doughs and knocking them back. We often make our own pizzas for lunch.
12.30pm We have a break for lunch; a walk round the garden (weather permitting). Lunch is served around the kitchen table.
1.15pm Refreshed we head back into the afternoon session; shaping doughs using moulds, proving and baking. Whilst the bread is baking there is time for a break and a final question and answer session.
4/5pm At the end of the workshop you will have a tray of breads to take home along with your course goodies.
