ALL ABOUT BRIOCHE
Cost: 1,500 Inc.GSTUnderstand the principles behind exceptional brioche and enriched doughs through two and a half days of hands-on baking, recipe analysis and practical theory.
THIS MASTERCLASS
IS IDEAL FOR
Whether you're a passionate home baker, professional or bakery owner, this class is designed to deepen your understanding of enriched doughs.
Through recipes from France, Switzerland and Mediterranean baking traditions, you'll explore how different cultures approached enriched breads and learn the principles needed to understand, analyse and adapt formulas in your own environment.
HANDS-ON LEARNING
This is not a demonstration class.
Throughout the two and a half days, you'll move between demonstrations and practical sessions while working with naturally leavened, yeasted and hybrid dough systems.
The emphasis is placed on understanding ingredients, fermentation and recipe balance so that you can confidently adapt formulas rather than simply reproduce them.
TWO AND A
HALF DAY
FORMAT
Over two and a half days, you'll have time to observe multiple fermentation systems and understand how ingredients such as butter, eggs, milk, sugar and olive oil influence dough behaviour and the final eating quality of a product.
The format allows enough time to connect theory with practice while exposing students to a wide range of enriched breads from different baking traditions.

“Best decision ever! Quentin had so much knowledge to share and will answer any questions you may have. But still taught the class in a way that didn't feel like information overload and felt equal to all the different skill levels of the students. I learnt so much and can't wait to implement everything I learnt into my own baking. Can't wait to do more classes!”
