Brasserie Bread, Artisan Workshop
Yet again Twitter rears it’s pretty little blue head and delivers me an opportunity I cannot refuse. A live tweeted bread making class!
I was so excited I could barely contain myself. I have baked bread before and I thoroughly enjoy the process. But making sourdough? In my dreams! The concept of having to create a starter, feed it and look after it sufficiently to get the appropriate sourness to create the perfect loaf!? Way beyond my capabilities.
So one chilly evening I gather myself and go to meet my new friend @FelixExplody and head off to Brasserie Bread headquarters in Banksmeadow.
There was so much information, baking, touring, fun, tasting and talking that I couldn’t possibly recount it all. So what I’m going to do is leave you with some pictures. My only suggestion: Book yourself in. Now.

Amazing! What kind of sourdough did you end up making?
.-= Littleredhen´s last blog ..Ah, that’s better. =-.
Standard white sourdough, but in a range of shapes: dinner rolls, epi, baguette, plaits etc…such fun
Sounds like so much fun! Did you make the caramelised garlic bread? I have such a weakness for it.

wow reem, the pictures came out great! glad you enjoyed the class – live tweeting was so fun and everyone was so lively – maybe a little too lively when it came to pounding the dough..

@Gourmantic no, we didn’t make the caramelised garlic bread! But we did eat some!
