About this collection
This isn't a classroom where you just watch demos. You will be at your own individual workstation every single day, managing your own proofing times and mastering temperature control for lamination. Whether it is the 200 hours of intensive training or the specific flour mill field trip we take you on, our goal is to make sure you know exactly how to handle and fix a dough when things don't go according to plan.
Beyond The Recipe: Mastering the Science
Baking is physics and chemistry at work. In this four-week intensive, we move past basic recipes to focus on the 'why' behind every loaf. You will spend your days diving into gluten science, analyzing how gliadin and glutenin combine to form the structure you need for that perfect rise. We cover everything from the fermentation of sourdough to the precise temperature management required for lamination in viennoiserie.
What You Will Master

- Classic & World Breads: Hands-on practice with Sourdough, Baguettes, Ciabatta, and Focaccia.
- Viennoiserie: Precision lamination for Croissants, Danish pastries, and Brioche.
- Artistic Skills: Scoring techniques, bread showpieces, and shaping methods for dinner rolls.
