Learn to bake bread without a bread-maker from SORTEDfood development chef James Currie. A self proclaimed bread fanatic, James’ love for baking is palpable throughout his workshop. By the end of it you’ll feel inspired to ditch the supermarket brands and start regularly making your own fresh bread at home.

You’ll start with a simple and quick flatbread, which is a great introduction to baking – no yeast or oven needed. James will then help you quickly progress on to mastering a range of classic bread recipes, including a basic white loaf, and experimenting with flavours to create your own wholemeal bread.

Once these skills are mastered you’ll learn the art of sticky focaccia and sweet brioche and with these new skills and experiences under your belt, you’ll be ready to get creative and experiment with all sorts of new flavours and textures.

In this workshop, you’ll learn:

How to make your first bread in under 30 minutes – no proving or oven required.
How to use yeast to bring your bread to life, letting it rise into a light and airy loaf.
Which flavours to combine into your bake, making a wholemeal loaf from scratch and substituting ingredients to create your own signature creations.
About how water can be used to create fluffy, super light textures.
How to enrich your dough with fats and sugars.

By the end of the bread workshop, you will have gained the skills needed to tackle a range of classic bread recipes, whilst gaining the confidence to experiment and add your own unique flavour combinations. Get your friends and family together, share your love of bread and get ready to impress them with your newfound baking skills.
