Testimonials
“I cannot recall ever having returned home from a course bubbling over with so much enthusiasm. I can hardly wait to put into practice what you taught me. My wife’s reaction to the bread I brought back was that it reminded her of how bread used to smell…..”
— David Brown, Minety, Wiltshire, November 2006

2 Day French – with Sourdough
Panary | 2 Day French with Sourdough
Work with levains and poolish to capture the essence of French breads. During the two-day course learn how to manage the sourdough leaven (levain) and use both wheat and rye levains to make incomparable rustic breads which keep for days, some with nuts and raisins added.
With the poolish enjoy a vast baguette workshop, and learn handskills for making French shapes.
In yeasted pastries choose either croissants or brioche.
