What we'll be covering

Program Curriculum

Week 1: Working with Baker's Yeast

You'll start off working on different practical techniques, kneading, introducing steam into the baking process and alternative fats.

Week 2: Sweet Doughs

This week you'll experiment with a dough sweetened with black treacle as well as different fillings and shaping for sweet babkas - a brioche like dough, delicious alongside a cup of coffee.

Week 3: Flatbread

This lesson is a love letter to food stalls from the hummusiyas to the street food stands selling vibrant flavors and warm laffa bread.
