It’s time to explore our campus to find out about studying at Chichester College.
Why choose this course?
Enjoy a hands-on day of bread making and take home the skills and confidence to recreate your breads at home.
During this one-day course, you will make three delicious varieties of bread:
- Fougasse Bread
- Malted Granary Honey Bread
- Pain de Campagne (a traditional white round cob loaf)
Throughout the day, you will learn about a range of bread-making ingredients and discover how they influence flavour, texture, colour, and structure to create different styles of bread. You will also develop the practical skills needed to assess each stage of the bread-making process, using your senses to judge when doughs are properly mixed, fermented, proved, and baked.
By the end of the course, you will have gained a solid understanding of traditional bread-making techniques, along with the recipes to take home and continue baking with confidence.
The products may vary based on available ingredients and resources.
