Course details

Welcome: Meet your host and tutor, see for yourself the Philleigh Way farmhouse cookery school and garden. Enjoy a morning tea or coffee and tasty Philleigh Way treat.

Demo one: To help any beginners we kick off with the basics – an overview of the baking process, ingredients, learning the differences between flours and yeasts, proteins and gluten, measuring, mixing and kneading your dough. The first demonstration covers the french classic croissant and baguette.

Practical session one: The students make croissants (and trust us after making your own you'll never buy them again) and make the dough for the baguettes.

Demo two: Classic Southern American Cornbread. Learn how to make this quick loaf which is great to accompany a Sunday morning fry-up

Practical session two: Students make their own cornbread which they enjoy for brunch along with eggs from the farm cooked how you like and some crispy bacon. After brunch students shape and bake their baguettes.

Demo three: Brioche a slightly sweet french yeast bread enriched with butter and eggs.

Demo four: The Bagel originating from Poland although now synonymous with New York involves a different bread making technique including poaching and glazing.

Practical session four: Students make Bagels.

Lunch: Enjoy a selection of breads from around the globe together with various other Philleigh Way delicacies prepared by our chefs.
