Baking classes


We have a new blog.
For all baking classes info please visit http://breadfromtheblackbird.co.uk/Thanks!










We run baking classes in Twickenham from the lovely Church Street Food Hall .

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.

Here are some reviews of our classes:

Introduction to bread making class

White loaves

The king of classes! If you've ever tried to make bread, you know how hard it can be. We take you through every element of bread making, from how to mix, kneading, proving, types of yeast, shaping, scoring and even oven spring! We make a basic white loaf, plus a soda bread, both of which you will take home with you. 

Date: 19.7.2016
Time: 6.20-9.30pm
Coat: £55 per person



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).

Date: 28.6.2016
Time: 6.20-9.30pm
Cost: £55 per person

Vegetable bread workshop


Sweet potato bread

Making bread with raw veggies is so simple and so tasty - they bring an extra dimension to the crumb, enhancing the dough and your taste buds! We'll make sweet potato bread, followed by a beetroot cottage loaf. Now THAT'S artisan bread!

Olive bread class 

Rosemary focaccia crown

The evening will introduce you to different ways to use olive oil (and olives) in bread . We start with a rosemary, sea salt and olive oil focaccia, which will be made in a crown, but we will also look at the traditional, flatbread way. After this, we will be incorporating lovely green olives in beautiful fougasse bread. An evening to savour!

Sweetened dough workshop

Croissants

We all love sweetened dough! We'll be making croissants, plus St Lucia buns and other mouth watering treats!

Beer bread workshop 

Delicious barm bread

The evening will introduce you to two ways of using beer to bake with. Starting with a traditional stout soda bread then moving onto a barm bread, made using the best part of a bottle of ruby red ale, we'll produce distinctive and  very different loaves for you take home. Additionally, we'll throw in a beer tasting session too. A fun night for all!
