Daily Bread

A one-day introduction to real bread baking

Venue Macbiehill Farmhouse, Lamancha, near Edinburgh

Cost £185 (including VAT)

Dates Sat January 28^th

Sun February 4^th

Sat May 12^th

This course is for

beginners
people who have baked a bit (perhaps in a breadmaker) but don’t feel very confident about the process
cake bakers who would like to get into bread
those who’d like to make real bread for their family and would like a helping hand to get started.

The course lasts

One day, from 9.30 am to 5 pm

You will learn

how easy it is to make basic loaves without additives or special tricks
what flour to choose to get the flavour, texture and nourishment you want
how to get yeast working reliably without anxiety and why ‘sourdough’ is a great way to make bread
how kneading produces light loaves - and how some great breads can be made without it
shaping, rising and baking methods and tips for cutting, serving and storing your bread
how to develop your new-found skills.

You will make and take home

four different loaves that you have made with your own hands with expert guidance

You will also get

a signed copy of Bread Matters by Andrew Whitley
coffee, lunch and tea (all organic, with much of the food grown on the Macbiehill smallholding).

This is where the journey begins. In one well-organised day you’ll make several loaves with your own hands, and you’ll find that it’s not just the dough that will rub off on you. You’ll take home the knowledge and skill to make it perfectly possible to avoid factory loaves (and their dubious effects) for good. Tasty and nutritious loaves for every day, savoury specialities or sweet indulgences, your daily bread will be under your control. You can’t bottle the aroma of baking or the laughs you’ll have along the way, but they’ll be just as real as your bread.

"Both Andrew & Veronica made me feel welcome and were both great hosts. Surroundings lovely, food excellent, as was the service. Would love to come back for more."

"Many thanks to you all as this was really worth while and will kick-start my breadmaking."
