We have a new blog.
For all baking classes info please visit http://breadfromtheblackbird.co.uk/Thanks!
They range from courses for beginners, (or for those who've tried a few times to make bread, but something just keeps going wrong!), to our Italian themed workshops, seasonal classes, sweetened dough, beer bread plus reduced gluten classes. Something for everyone!
They make a great present for a loved one, or for yourself. We are happy to provide our services for larger venues, including corporate events, please contact us for more information.
All classes include a bread tasting session, including a glass of wine, or a non alcoholic beverage, plus a home baked treat! Lastly, and most importantly, you take ALL your bread home with you, plus our tried and tested recipes.

Rustic bread class
Rustic bread class
Wholemeal
What could be better than making your own rustic loaf? But it's harder to master than you'd think. Many people have tried to make wholemeal, or seeded bread, and because it doesn't work out they never try it again. We'll show you how to get a showstopping loaf every time! At this class we'll make wholemeal loaves and headgerow rolls (seeded rolls with cider).
