Event Description

Take your baking skills to the next level with Breadmaking Mastery 1.0, an immersive, hands-on artisan bread workshop in Hamilton designed for curious beginners and confident home bakers alike. Hosted in the intimate Chocolate Tales studio, this in-depth class focuses on understanding bread—not just following recipes. 🥖

Over 4.5 engaging hours, you’ll learn how to create three essential bakery-style breads: a soft and versatile Classic Tin Loaf, a rustic Italian Ciabatta with an open crumb, and light, enriched Burger Buns perfect for sandwiches and sliders. Working with different dough styles side by side, you’ll experience how hydration, fermentation, and gluten development shape flavour, texture, and structure.

Guided by an experienced instructor, you’ll practice professional techniques such as mixing, kneading, folding, shaping, proofing, and baking—while learning why each step matters. This workshop emphasizes timing, touch, and intuition, helping you develop the confidence to adapt recipes and troubleshoot common baking challenges at home.

As your breads bake, you’ll enjoy a guided tasting and discussion, comparing crusts, crumbs, and flavours while exploring serving ideas and storage tips. You’ll leave with freshly baked bread to take home, printed recipes, and the foundational knowledge needed to continue baking artisan-quality bread in your own kitchen. ✨

Whether you’re passionate about bread, looking to deepen your culinary skills, or searching for a meaningful food experience in Hamilton, Breadmaking Mastery 1.0 offers a rewarding blend of technique, creativity, and hands-on learning.
