Bread, Pizza, Pie & Pudding Masterclass – Two-Day Experience 27th & 28th October

🍞🍕🥧 Two Popular Courses. One Unmissable Experience.

I've taken two of the most-loved cookery school courses and merged them into something even better — a two-day hands-on masterclass that lets the magic happen overnight.

As a chef, I know some flavours and techniques are a few days in the making — and now I finally get to share that with you. 😊

What's more, what was once £170 for two separate sessions is now available as one enhanced, immersive experience for just £120 — an introductory offer I hope you'll love. 

10.00 to 13.30 both days 

🌅 Day 1 – Bread, Pizza & Pie Foundations

Your day starts with the fundamentals of dough — understanding your ingredients, how they work together, and what makes a dough behave the way it does. We keep the atmosphere relaxed, but the skills are serious, practical, and genuinely useful.

A bread recipe is just a guide — we'll work together to understand what's in our hands and how to turn it into something magical. That pastry you may fear? I played Rugby League for 20 years 🏉 — if I can keep it light and flaky... so can you!!

What you'll learn:

• 🤌 The key stages of mixing, kneading, fermenting, resting, moulding and finishing
• ⚠️ How to work and develop dough and love the feel of it in your hands
• 🧪 The science behind a melt in the mouth pastry: light, crumbly, and full of flavour

What you'll make:

• 🍞 Fresh bread to take home and enjoy that same evening
• 🫓 A bun wheel, flatbreads, rosemary and rock salt breadsticks.
• 🥩 A hearty steak & ale pie filling — left to mature overnight so the flavours can truly meld

Meanwhile, your pizza dough rests overnight — becoming stretchier, more workable and more digestible by morning. This is where the real alchemy begins. ✨

☀️ Day 2 – Pizza, Pastry & the Finished Feast

You return to a pizza dough that's had time to develop character. Your hand-stretched artisan pizza is ready to be shaped and fired. Your pie filling has deepened overnight. Now it's time to bring it all together — and eat well. 😄

What you'll make:

• 🍕 A hand-stretched artisan pizza — baked and enjoyed fresh
• 🥐 Light, crumbly shortcrust pastry from scratch
• 🥧 Your finished steak & ale pie — golden, hearty, and entirely yours
• 🍮 A classic Spotted Dick — the great British steamed pudding, served warm with custard

⏰ Why Two Days Makes All the Difference

Great food takes time — and this experience is designed around that truth. The overnight resting of your dough and pie filling isn't just practical, it's transformational. You'll taste the difference, and you'll understand exactly why.

Whether you've always wanted to master bread but feared the process, or pastry has felt like a mystery — this two-day course breaks it all down with warmth, skill and plenty of good eating. No drama, no pressure, just real food made properly. 😉

✅ Suitable for all levels. Everything provided. Just bring your appetite (and maybe a bigger bag to carry it all home 😂).
