There’s nothing quite like the smell of freshly baked bread wafting out of your OWN oven – one of life’s simple pleasures, and it’s sooo easy. On this half-day course, a combination of demonstration and hands-on session, you’ll learn how to make several different bread recipes from traditional white and brown soda and multi-seed to a really simple brown and white yeast bread technique and super quick scones.

 

What you’ll learn about

  • How to make 2 different kinds of bread.
  • The difference between the different raising agents in Soda Bread, Yeast Bread and Sourdough.
  • The importance of sourcing the best ingredients for the best results
  • Tips for forward planning and saving time
  • Great ideas for using your news skills for new recipes, such as pizza.

Course elements

  • A short demonstration session, showing how the various breads are prepared from scratch, with overhead mirrors and two monitors showing close-up handiwork.
  • A practical session with teachers in the kitchen making loaves of bread.
  • Teachers share a wealth of knowledge through their expert tips and techniques. Students can ask questions and have the opportunity to taste the dishes prepared at the end of the sessions
  • Bring home the loaves of bread that you bake on the day.

Good to know

•    A pack of the recipes will be provided for your ongoing reference 
•    Our Shop will be open for further inspiration: cookery books, equipment and select ingredients
•    We run this course several times a year.

The prestigious Ballymaloe 12 WeekCertificate Course is run three times a year, with courses beginning in January,April or May, and September.

The course is aimed at anyone with a passionate interest in food. Many of our students use the course as a springboard to become a professional chef; others use it to equip themselves with a marketable skill.

Others still take the course simply to maximize the pleasure they get from cooking at home.

Students develop a deep and detailed understanding of food and how it is produced. The emphasis is on recognising the best ingredients and knowing how to showcase them.
