Chocolate Bread Making Session
Saturday 21st April – 10.30am
For the kids Age 6+ – £5 per ticket
Located in the Bishop Auckland Town Hall
The base for this delicious chocolate bread is one of my favourite bread doughs, it is enriched with eggs and butter to make a brioche style loaf. With a little adaptation the recipe can be used for burger buns and wonderful savoury breads too. I want to show you how easy it can be to make bread, come and join me for this workshop and you could be eating a slice of this for tea.
Foccaccia Bread Making Workshop
Saturday 21st April – 11.45 am
For Age 16+ – £5 per ticket
Located in the Bishop Auckland Town Hall
I have used a very simple white bread recipe as the base for this Italian style bread, you will be surprised by how easy this wonderful bread is to make, topped with olives, tomatoes and rosemary it is a favourite in my house. I have experimented with just letting the dough rise once and the result was a big hit, I’m sure purists will argue that I should take more time over this bread but my family would disagree, I can’t get it in the oven fast enough for their liking.
