A gorgeous, crusty, hand-made loaf can make even the simplest meal heart-warmingly memorable. It is also far better for your health.  

Home-baking skips the mega-dose of chemicals found in much store-bought bread, while slow fermentation lowers GI and makes nutrients more accessible to your body.  It's good news for every body!

Content and Overview 

Our hands-on  course walks you step-by-step through five different projects, each designed to highlight different aspects of artisan baking.  

We'll take you through the uninterrupted 'straight run' from mixing to baking on each project, and we'll also show you how to use your fridge if you want to slow down the process.  This creates flexibility so you can easily fit the baking around your life, not fit your life around the baking!

These will give you a practical grasp of such concepts as kneading and gluten development, fast or slow fermentation, the relationship between rising time and dough temperature, hydration, leavens, proving, shaping and baking.  

Mastering basic artisan breads will give you the confidence to impress your friends and family and to create recipes of your own. We hope it will also inspire you to progress into the magical world of sourdough with our forthcoming course on Udemy, Artisan Sourdough Made Simple.

Here are a few of our favourite 5 star testimonials from our other courses:

I gave five stars because the genuine enthusiasm of Penny and Dragan is so infectious, and all the various aspects are explained and demonstrated in such an easy to follow manner. I felt drawn in and couldn't wait to get a starter going. I'm looking forward to the time when I have rocked & rolled & chafed and, hopefully, ended up with a lovely smooth ball of dough - like the one that Dragan cradled in his hands so affectionately. Looks a little like play dough for grown-ups. George.E. Morley

Penny and Dragan removed the mystique surrounding sourdough and made it very "do-able." Really love the FAB recipe! Bobby Ollar

…The bonus too is they show the stages of dough development clearly and this was something I struggled to understand before this course. They keep it simple as bread baking should be. I'm really looking forward to more courses. Julia Bilecki

Dragan and Penny! Thank you for putting together such an awesome course. Incredible support, you know what you are talking about. Very insightful course. I really learned a lot, all of the additional advice/tips very helpful and useful. All the best for you. Marcelo Ariatti

The videos are priceless!  Aden
