In this 2-part online cooking course, Chef Eric will take you through the steps you need to become a serious home-made bread baker. Bread-making is something that required time and patience. If you want good quality bread, you need to work at it but with the simplest ingredients and proper technique, you will do just that.

The online cooking course will guide you through the preparation of delicious baguettes, brioche, & fougasse with no additives and plenty of taste. This is a 2-day bread initiation we will show you how to get delicious bread without making a sourdough starter. This will give you a more stable product without skimping on flavor.

The Class Flow:

DAY BEFORE CLAS – Prepare the poolish (10 mins)

Recipes: Poolish (please note that the poolish can only be made with fresh yeast so you do need to be able to get some. Ask your local bakery if necessary)

DAY 1 – We will discuss equipment, flours, what makes a good bread, and prepare our bread doughs Class Length: ~2 hours

Recipes: Fougasse, baguette dough, brioche dough

DAY 2 – Shaping, proofing techniques, baking bread Class Length: 3 hours

*Option to take individual classes within the course:
While we recommend taking part in the full course, it is possible to book classes individually. Much of the first day will be spent preparing the different doughs and discussing equipment, flour and technique. We do the baking on day 2. We suggest registering for the full session so that you can receive the two class videos that you can follow along on your own.

Note: You will be provided a short recording on how to make the poolish we will use in our bread recipes.
