Baking Bread and Learning English
Bread … can be super delicious … or disappointing!
Bread … can be eaten for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Bread … just contains a few basic ingredients … and still tastes different every time.
Bread baking is easy and difficult at the same time … if you don't have the skills to do it!
But - be prepared: it can become a passion and you will never buy bread from the supermarket any more!
In my Basic Course you will learn about
- various kinds of flour
- small vs big amounts of yeast
- techniques like mixing, kneading the doughs, stretching and folding, rising, shaping, proofing and baking
- basic equipment needed for baking bread and rolls and where to get it.
In the course we bake various breads and bread rolls. We only use organic flour! At the end of the course, the bread and rolls are distributed among the participants and you can take them home to savour with family and friends!
Don't be nervous if you think your English is not good enough! Everything will be explained in detail and - if necessary - partly in German.
