Bread Making in Somerset

Enjoy this home made bread making experience in central Bath with lessons from the kitchens of famed French baker and gourmet chef, Richard Bertinet.

This bread making course offers an exciting variety of breads you will be able to re-create at home. The classes cover two different doughs and the lucky recipient will learn how to make and 'work' the dough to create fougasse, focaccia, olive bread, olive and pecorino breadsticks and more.

"Richard Bertinet is a master of his craft who has decided to share his knowledge with the world.  First there was his ultra-user-friendly book Dough.. And now, Richard and his wife, Jo, have opened their cookery school in Bath, offering hands-on baking lessons.  I've just had one and it was revelatory... it might change the way you look at bread forever". (Tom Norrington-Davies, The Telegraph).

The experience lasts around 4 hours and includes plenty of hands on baking time. A lunch with a glass of wine will be served and is included in the cost of the day. In a full class there will be at least one teaching chef and one assistant chef. Maximum group size is 12. Courses are usually hosted by one of The Bertinet Kitchen's house chefs. Please note Richard Bertinet will not be present at the class. Alternative cookery courses are available.

The bread making courses operate on selected dates throughout the year. Courses start at 10:00. Spaces are in high demand with bookings currently being taken up to three months in advance.
