BREAD MAKING COURSES

We are delighted to be back for some autumn bread-making classes. Our first date next date is November 9th - only a couple of places left As usual, we will be at the St Bridget's Centre, making four different sourdough loaves, plus a pot of starter, to take home. Our informal, hands on classes last from 1-6pm, with a tea break for a freshly baked fruit loaf and soft drinks. Come and join our baking session, learning new skills for a relaxing (and busy!) afternoon. A second (provisional) date for November 9th will be firmed up shortly.

Start here!

If you want to try making a loaf of sourdough bread yourself, before you try to make your own starter, you can buy some of our own, made on the premises, Little Eye starter for just a £5 plus postage.
No equipment needed, starts bubbling before you have got time to read a recipe book and wonder how they did it! Do it yourself!

DIY? - try it in the kitchen
We want everyone to try sourdough bread - stories about how hand-made sourdough bread is better for flavour and general well-being keep on coming -

but at Little Eye we also say learning to Do It Yourself will strengthen your confidence in the kitchen, your understanding of where good flours and equipment come from, and bring the great satisfaction that a crusty, well-risen loaf delivers. Come on a course, or buy some sourdough starter from us and try it yourself at home.
