Step into the shoes of a professional baker for one richly rewarding week
Don't you love the aroma of fresh baked bread, hot and steaming from the oven? In Artisanal Bread Baking, you can learn to bake beautiful baguettes, fabulous foccacia, crusty ciabatta, braided yellow challah, and other delicious breads from around the world.

You'll come to class each morning, slip on your baker's whites, and dive in. Under the close supervision of accomplished Chef-Instructors, you'll be inspired, challenged, and learn more than you ever thought possible. You'll roll up your sleeves and mix, ferment, punch down, shape, score, finish, and bake dough into delicious loaves. You'll learn techniques for creating a range of outstanding tastes and textures. Even if you have no experience making bread, you'll discover its joys and unleash its mysteries.

Class sizes are limited to 12 students. So we encourage you to enroll early.

          You only get one chance to make a first impression... and the restaurant's first impression to your diners is the bread. If that part of the meal is less than perfect, then their expectations are already set low. If the bread is wonderful, they know that the rest of their experience will be, too.
