Bread baking including traditional Scottish breads

Join us to bake traditional Scottish oatcakes, wholemeal bread, soda bread, fougasse (flat, leaf-shaped bread), bannocks, Staffordshire oatcakes. There will be plenty of opportunities to sample what we bake as we go along, and you will have the breads we make together to take home with you.

Our next Baking Sessions

We run the baking sessions on Wednesday mornings, from 10am till 2pm, and on Thursday evenings from 6pm till 10pm. Our next sessions, making lemon bread, oatcakes and if there is time one other demonstration bread :
Wednesday 25th March, Thursday 26th March
Wednesday 22nd April
If you know someone who is just itching to learn how to bake bread, why not give them a gift voucher for a baking and tasting session? Just call us to arrange it.

The format of the baking sessions

Each 4 hour session starts with coffee and tastings, while we chat briefly about what we are going to make, and ends with a light vegetarian lunch or supper which makes up the last hour of the class. We usually have a coffee/tea/clean-up break midway which gives you the chance to leaf through my collection of bread baking books for more ideas.

Our ingredients

Although we may make low gluten and spelt flour breads which some coeliacs can tolerate, the sessions are not aimed at those with specific dietary requirements. Also, since we are working in a domestic kitchen our environment is not nut free. We use mainly but not exclusively organic flours, for instance the oatmeal we use is from Hogarth's mill in Kelso; wonderful meal from local oats, but not organic. The butter and milk are always organic.

Cost and conditions

The cost of a session is £30 per person including all materials and a light supper or lunch, however, if you come back for a second session we will give you a £5 reduction. Not only that, but if you recommend a friend we will give another £5 off your next visit.
We can accept a maximum of 4 people at a baking session, and we need a minimum of two bookings in order to go ahead. Your booking is confirmed when we receive a £10 deposit which is non-returnable except when we have to cancel.
We accept cash, most major credit cards and PayPal. To book, phone us: +44 (0) 1337 858 031 or +44 (0) 7840 258550
