Croissant Masterclass
You've seen these flaky beauties in patisserie windows and now's the time to make them yourself!   
You'll be guided by Adam through the intricacies of lamination, folding and rolling the dough to achieve the characteristic flakiness and layers that define what a croissant should look like. At the end of the day, you'll have your very own exceptional croissants that look as good as they taste.

Sourdough Masterclass
In this sourdough bread making class, Adam shares his passion for crafting the perfect loaf. He'll talk you through the whole process from start to finish, explaining each element and demystifying how to create and maintain a healthy sourdough culture. If you've ever wanted to bake the perfect sourdough loaf, this masterclass will help your bread making dreams come true.

Pastry Masterclass
Pastry can often be the nemesis of many bakers, but executive pastry chef Adam is here to help you achieve pastry perfection.
You'll explore the intricate art of puff, sweet and savoury pastries as Adam introduces you to the fundamentals of pastry-making. After a demonstration from Adam on how to roll and fold like an expert, it's time to grab your rolling pin and have a go yourself, under Adam's watchful guidance. Next it's on to sweet pastries where you can get creative with flavours and textures. The bakery will soon be filled with the sweet scent of baking pastries, ready for you to take home to enjoy as well as all the tips and tricks you've learnt throughout the day.
