About This Class

Discover the joy of bread making with this flavour-packed baking class. We’ll start by making a simple no-knead white dough, learning the “stretch and fold” method that develops gluten with minimal effort. This quick to make dough delivers incredible flavour and texture with hardly any kneading. Next, you’ll shape and bake a pesto plait—a beautiful twisted loaf swirled with basil pesto, perfect for sharing.
