Product information

Bread Baking Basics


There’s a rhythm to bread baking — and in this foundational class, Amber Eisler, Director of Baking Education, will help you find it. Designed to build confidence and deepen your understanding, this course walks you step by step through the essential stages of making bread so you can better interpret what your dough needs at every point along the way.

You’ll explore mixing, kneading, dough development, bulk fermentation (first rise), dividing and shaping, proofing, baking, and cooling — gaining the skills to make thoughtful observations and adjustments as you go. As you practice, you’ll begin to “talk to the dough,” developing instincts that carry over from one recipe to the next.

Along the way, you’ll bake five delicious breads: Pita Bread, Pain de Mie, Super Seed Bread, Ciabatta, and a Giant Sticky Bun. By the end of class, you’ll have a strong foundation you can apply to any bread recipe — and the confidence to keep learning through repetition in your own kitchen.

On-Demand classes can be taken at any time, and can be re-watched over and over again, letting you learn at your own pace.
