Learn Artisan Bread Making on these one day courses in Bakewell! & yes (no pun intended) you will learn how to bake-very-well in Bakewell on our full day bread courses hosted by Andrew Auld master baker of Loaf in Crich. The courses take place at the School of Food's professional kitchens in this delightfully converted former mill in the heart of this Derbyshire town. As you can imagine there's no sign of a sliced white here as your baker host is passionate about using traditional bread baking techniques & prefers using either baker's yeast or natural leavens to produce their tasty range of artisan breads. You have the choice of four different courses that all revolve around h&-making bread. You can add a gallic flavour to your baking as you tackle croissants baguettes & brioches on the French bread & Viennoiserie day or perhaps you'd like to have a go at the tricky thing that is sourdough? This course will see you mixing up wild yeast sourdoughs & 100% rye ones too. There is also the classic artisan bread making workshop that show you how to perfect that crust on your traditional white or brown loaves gets you kneading your wet dough for a foccacia & coming up with a sweet dough to turn into something scrummy like Chelsea buns or iced fingers. Yum. Last but not least is the speciality bread session that is a wonderful melange of bread baking styles with everything from foccacias & pain au chocolat to rye breads on the menu. As well as learning about each different bread type on your course you'll also explore ingredients & mixing practice the art of kneading then be shown how to shape the dough ready to be baked. This is all done by hand which is an essential part of the artisanal process as is the finishing touch of slashing or sprinkling your bread with seeds or flour to give it that inviting h&-crafted look. Lunch is included on these artisan bread making days & all courses provide everything you need to roll up your sleeves & get stuck in. As an artisan bakery teacher Andrew likes nothing more than producing a nice crusty baguette or tinned loaf but also loves soughdoughs so you'll have a variety of breads to try out with up to three being made throughout the course of the day
- all of which you can take home with you.

It's a mix of alchemy & artisan on this fabulous Cheese Making Course! You will spend a whole day in the depths of the Peak District learning how to make cheese with expert tuition from Chris Ashby
- & what she doesn't know about cheese & how to make it isn't worth knowing! Turning whole milk into tasty soft cheese isn't as complicated as it might sound but the key to the entire process is very precise temperatures. You will be shown what happens when you heat milk to create the curds & whey how you use the curds to make delicious cheeses that are soft & creamy & learn the theories of making hard cheeses too. Whether you've always fancied making your own handcrafted cheese or just love the taste of a good Brie this course is ideal for you. The morning of the course will be centred on making a Camembert-style soft cheese & this is when you'll discover all about rennet & how it's used in the cheese making process. You'll have a break for lunch (and yes cheese is on the menu as it doubles up as a tutored cheese tasting workshop!) before an afternoon session where you will make a wonderfully squidgy mozzarella cheese & a fragrant lemon cheese. What we love about this course is that it is that you will be fully taking part so it is you who will be making the artisanal cheese to take home with you. Imagine serving up a delicious mozzarella & tomato salad a wedge of lemon cheese served with a nice glass of rose wine or a slice of your soft cheese on a crisp cracker…and all homemade. This cheese making course runs from 09:30 until 16:30 at the Bakewell workshop so there's plenty of time for you to separate those curds from the whey get straining & then press the mixture into the cheese moulds. You'll learn loads of quirky & fabulous cheesy facts (we love it when you make stringy cheese!) & you leave with the three cheeses you made. You'll even discover age IS important when you're a cheese! Brilliant fun.
