26/08: Gourmet August camp - Italian bread class

£99.00

Bring the warmth and aroma of an Italian bakery into your kitchen with this hands-on bread-making workshop for children! Discover the secrets behind three iconic Italian breads — soft, dimpled focaccia, crisp golden grissini breadsticks, and a rustic olive-studded loaf.

This interactive class guides young bakers step-by-step through traditional Italian techniques and timeless flavours, from mixing and kneading their very first dough to dimpling, shaping, and topping each bread with care. Discover the magic of yeast and patience, the comforting smell of bread baking in the oven, and the joy of breaking apart a loaf you've made yourself — the everyday rituals that make Italian baking so beloved.

During the workshop, the children will:

  • Mix, knead, and shape a soft, dimpled focaccia, drizzled with olive oil and scattered with sea salt and fragrant rosemary

  • Roll and stretch their own grissini, the crisp, golden breadsticks of Piedmont

  • Bake a rustic olive bread studded with briny black and green olives

  • Explore the simple, beautiful Italian baking palette, flour, water, yeast, olive oil, herbs, and a sprinkle of sea salt

  • Build real confidence working with dough, plus practical tips to bake these breads at home

Perfect for budding young bakers, curious eaters, or any child who loves the magic of turning flour into something delicious. Enjoy a warm Italian adventure — and take home the beautiful, fragrant breads you've baked!

What’s included:

  • Step-by-step guidance from our professional chefs

  • All ingredients and materials provided

  • Techniques for mixing, flavouring, and baking perfectly textured pastries

  • A warm, gourmet experience that builds confidence in the kitchen

Each participant will take home their freshly baked creations to share with family and friends (If they didn’t eat everything during the class…)

  • Focaccia

  • Breadsticks

  • Olive bread
