Sweet Bread Baking and Enriched Dough is definitely not a cake (that's our excuse for the diet conscious), but a great treat for Sunday breakfast or perfect with your coffee.

This is a hands on workshop, where you will learn about sweet breads and enriched dough, the different types of flours that we use and different types of rasing agents. We will still cover basics, so if you are new to baking, this workshop will give you solid foundation on which you can carry on baking your own sweet bread. You will learn how to correctly measure, knead, shape and bake enriched dough and how to make sure your sweet bread dough rises well every time. We will be using some advanced bread baking techniques such as using scalded flour for your baking. You will prepare your own dough and will be also working on dough prepared earlier by us.

Our workshops are run in small groups with plenty of one to one attention from your host - Magdalena Marsden.

'It was lovely to meet you Magdalena on Sunday. I picked up lots of great tips and the breads tasted delicious (not too sweet, just sweet enough). Thanks again for a brilliant course, and I look forward to more next year!'

'Thank you for the fantastic course - I wanted to get back to baking, now that I've retired, but somehow never really found the time to start! I've really enjoyed the sweet baking course and have already baked brioche for our family gathering last weekend. Everybody commented how deliciously soft the brioche was! 

Rupert, Whistable, Kent

'I wasn't sure what to expect, as my partner bought your course for me as a surprise. But I didn't need to worry! My partner obviously knows me well, because I've ejoyed the whole day. My family loved the apple cakes'.
