About this event
CookingNEW LOCATION! This class takes place at Cucinato (1338 Lansdowne @ St Clair W)
One of The Depanneur’s most popular workshops!
Join artisanal baker Leo Baduria for a full-day, in-depth exploration of the fundamentals of great bread. You’ll learn how to make your own sourdough starter, and how to prepare different types of dough, using various grains and flours. There will be hands-on practice of the techniques to folding, kneading and shaping dough to make focaccia, fougasse, baguettes, boules, batards and brioches, including challah braids.
You'll begin with a focus on dough-making; first for the focaccia and pizza, followed by the dough for baguettes, boules and batards using different types of flour. This is then followed by making the brioche dough, which takes longer to rise.
The later afternoon focuses on the shaping and baking of the various breads, starting with the focaccia and pizza dough. By mid-afternoon the baguette, boules and batards will be ready to shape. While they are baking, the brioche dough will be ready for shaping into various types, such as challah, loaf, brioche buns.
