Super Seeds & Grains

Posted by brasseriebread on September 13, 2011

When we had eight lovely food bloggers join us for an Artisan Baking with Seeds & Grains class, I was very intrigued by how the class would unfold with eight DSLRs and eight smart phones hovering around the floury and doughy training room. Make that nine, if you include my SLR and iPhone. Cameras slung [...]

I was lucky enough to join one of the Breaducation workshops we hold every month. A special session for wholesale customers, this short course is designed to give customers well-rounded knowledge about the Brasserie Bread range as well as artisan baking techniques and preparation ideas. We start by shaping dinner rolls, which I admit is [...]

Baking with Brioche

Posted by brasseriebread on July 27, 2011

I’m no baker, but I sure love eating baked goods! So when I took my first ever Baking with Brioche workshop, I was both excited and a little daunted. Luckily I already spent a day in the bakery, which gave me a basic understanding of shaping dough. But on this lovely Monday evening I was in [...]

A day in the bakery

Posted by brasseriebread on July 19, 2011

“Ohhhh, my love, my darling, I’ve hungered for your touch,” the radio serenades me as I pre-shape thousands of Quinoa & Soya loaves (I may be exaggerating, but it sure feels like thousands). We’ve talked about Ghost in our blog before – the way pottery and dough shaping have a whole lot of similarities. Sure, [...]

Brasserie Bread and the curse of Ghost (1990)

Posted by brasseriebread on February 23, 2011

Anyone seen Ghost (1990)? We may have been asking for it by setting up a Valentine’s Day Baking class this year. Pottery and dough have eerily similar properties. Especially when shaping.

Happy faces all around, that’s what we like to see. Snapshot courtesy of L Klimczak, whose son Maksymilian and niece Paulina attended our Sweet & Savoury Baking Class today. The kids made pizza, cookies and apple-honey bread (our favourite!) Did you know that sometimes we have requests from the kids wanting us to sell what they’ve baked in the [...]

After year-round requests for special Christmas baking classes, we decided the Training School required an injection of merry and introduced the all-new Christmas Pies & Puddings class. We gave a free sneak peek to Fooderati’s readers, who were asked what Christmas Dessert they were [...]
