Ultimate Bread Making Workshop (Weekends)
The Ultimate Bread Making Workshop/Experience – £150 including lunch in The Pie Shop (1 course, 1 drink)
Spend a full, glorious day with our expert bakers and discover the joy of creating truly beautiful breads from scratch. This immersive, hands-on experience combines the very best of our two popular classes, the classic Bread Making Workshop and the Continental Bread Making Workshop into one unforgettable day of baking, learning, and indulgence.
You’ll make, bake, and take home four delicious breads from a wholesome spelt loaf and a savoury spring onion & mature cheddar soda bread, to a golden, herb-scented Mediterranean focaccia and sweet Swedish cinnamon knots. With professional guidance throughout, you’ll learn traditional and contemporary techniques, mastering the skills to recreate these stunning bakes at home.
Between bakes, enjoy a well-earned, delicious lunch served in our famed Pie Shop, a true taste of Melton Mowbray hospitality. The small group setting ensures plenty of personal attention, laughter, and the irresistible aroma of fresh bread from our working bakery. We will invite you to pre-order from our Baker’s Menu on the day of the workshop.
You’ll leave with your freshly baked loaves, and the confidence and inspiration to continue your bread-making journey.
A perfect experience for food lovers, aspiring bakers, or anyone ready to spend a day kneading, shaping, tasting, and savouring the art of bread.
