BREAD MAKING CLASSES:

Bread! Part of our way of life and our national identity but horribly misused by mass production. At Manna from Devon we make bread as it should be made; with first class ingredients, lots of time and heaps of respect and if you join one of our breadmaking classes you'll get to grips (literally!) with the whole process of making bread.

Run by David, a passionate bread maker, our classes are designed to give you the confidence and enthusiasm to regularly make your daily bread and to explore and experiment with the endless possibilities that an understanding of bread making offers.

SOURDOUGH:

2 day class. £195 per person.

In this class we give bread the one thing it really needs if it is to become great bread ...time. Long fermentation gives the bread flavour, digestibility, long life and better nutritional qualities.

Additionally we will work with sourdough or naturally fermented dough which has had no yeast added to it - just the natural process of fermentation.

We'll makes breads with wheat and rye starters and overnight sponges (poolish and biga). On a typical workshop we will make: 100% Rye, Borodinsky, Pain de Campagne, Ciabatta, Baguette, White Sourdough and Honey and Sunflower Bread.

We will explore how to create a 'Starter' and to to maintain it through regular refreshment.

Suitable for intermediate bread makers wishing to expand your repertoire and for professional chefs looking to add great, hand made bread to your menus.

I love your small scale set up and the warm welcome you and Holly give. It was great to have a whole days hands on to practice as well as getting a good basic background to the magic of bread! and to go home with such a fantastic array of goodies, the hot cross buns and Chelsea buns didn't last long!
