What you will Learn

You will learn to use wholegrains to make deep-flavoured and healthy bread worth eating. You will grind your own whole wheat and spelt flours at the workshop and use these to bake bread that you can easily achieve in your own kitchen at home.

Our Approach

All our workshops are hands-on. You will prepare and bake your own bread, from start to finish. And you get to take your fresh loaves home with you. Bread baking is a collaborative and fun endeavor at the Black Island Bakery, where you are encouraged to ask questions, share ideas and experiences throughout our time together.

Is this workshop for me?

No previous experience is needed. This workshop is for beginners and home bakers who would like to get some additional training. It is also suitable for anyone who just wants to join a group for a fun time exploring the art and science of bread baking.
