Cooking Experience Days: This informative, hands-on class reveals the secrets behind
authentic French baking. Benefit from all the expertise of a
highly-experienced professional, as you discover how to give your
baguettes and croissants a continental je ne sais
quoi.
Upon arrival, the small group will sit down to discuss the day�??s
programme over coffee. Your teacher, Paul, has been involved in the
industry for over forty years �?? twenty of which have been spent
teaching courses like yours. Under his capable supervision, you�??ll
learn to bake several traditional treats �?? including a
walnut-studded pain de campagne, the perfect baguette, and
butter-rich croissants. You�??ll shape rustic boules and batards,
make use of poolish �??starters�??, and practise the tricky art of
�??laminating�?? dough to give gorgeously flaky results. When your
creations head to the oven �?? and whilst you anxiously await their
reappearance �?? you�??ll enjoy a tour of the working watermill the
class occupies, before the final test of your day�??s labour �?? the
tasting!
The Full Day French Baking Course, in Dorset, is a chance to
