Bread making courses

yonk

I like making bread and with a bit of practice, could probably be quite consistent, specialising in sourdough and pizza.

I'd quite like to eventually run short breadmaking courses - anyone think this is a good idea? I think I'm asking if it would interest people enough to indicate there would be demand.

I think you should get a good response. Ive just started going to Indian cookery classes and love it. But I wish there were other course too as there is alot of other things I would like to learn, including Bread making.

Depends where you are in the Uk too I guess.

Hmm, I'm not sure what with the rise (sorry, excuse the pun!) of the cheap breadmaker. I know the bread isn't as good as handmade, but for most people it's better than the rubbish you get at the supermarkets.

I think you'd need to specialise in 'artisan' breads and ones you can't do in a breadmaker... We do our pizza dough in ours

Just my thoughts!

I don't understand the breadmaker thing but then I'm rubbish at washing up, seems so much more faff than just making a bit of dough by hand. I follow an American pizza recipe though where you mix it initially in a stand mixer, then just add enough flour to make a dough. Quick bit of kneading and it's done.

I think the thing with the bread maker is that you can just shove it all in, set the timer and bingo at 7am/when you get back from shopping trip - you have fresh bread. No kneading, or having to put in/take out of oven.

If your method is really simple though, you'd need to get this across in your marketing material for the class
