Baking

Join us to bake delicious breads. There will be plenty of opportunities to sample what we bake as we go along and you can take the final products home with you to share with hungry friends. And when you get home, there is no special equipment needed, just a normal domestic oven and good flour
Come along on your own, with a chum or if you know someone who is just itching to learn how to bake bread why not give them a gift voucher for a baking and tasting session?

Just call 01337 858 031 to arrange it or email enquiry@breadinfife.co.uk for more information.

Baking Sessions - Some Suggestions

Below are some suggested sessions which cover two yeasted breads and perhaps something else if there is time. Email me or phone to say what you would like to bake, and when. Remember we need at least two people to go ahead.

• Light & Fluffy : Lemon Bread & Milk Loaf
  
• 
  Fruity : Fruit Loaf, Bruschetta Bread Sticks & Olive Cob
  
• 
  Breakfasty Things : Tasty Rolls, Staffordshire Oatcakes & Coarse Oatcakes
  
• 
  Strong Stuff : Walnut Bread, Wholemeal Loaf & Wholemeal Scones
  
• 
  Irresistible : Fougasse, Crumpets & a nice bit of shorty
  

The format of the baking sessions

Each session runs from 10am till 2pm followed with a simple meal.
The baking sessions start with coffee and tastings, while we chat briefly about what we are going to make, and end with a light meal. Of course we will have a coffee/tea/clean-up break midway which will give you a chance to swap experiences and also to leaf through bread baking books for more ideas. During a four hour session we can just manage to fit in two oven baked yeasted breads, and with a following wind perhaps also something which doesn't require yeast like oatcakes, wholemeal scones or shortbread, or doesn't require the oven e.g. Staffordshire oatcakes or crumpets.

A Simple Meal with Bread!

This gives us the opportunity to taste what we have baked together and shows how bread and food complement each other to the increased enjoyment of both for instance lemon bread with spinnach and egg or walnut bread with a ploughman's lunch. Meals are usually vegetarian.

Our ingredients

Although we make low gluten and spelt flour breads which some coeliacs can tolerate, the sessions are not aimed at those with specific dietary requirements. Also, since we are working in a domestic kitchen our environment is not nut free. In the recipes where I normally use dairy products there are alternatives given for vegans. We use mainly but not exclusively organic flours, for instance the oatmeal we use is from Hogarth's mill in Kelso; wonderful meal from local oats, but not organic. The butter and milk are always organic.
