Baking Course in Italy
Basic Course + Baking Course
Our Basic Course + Baking Course is the most complete of our programs as it includes both baking and cooking. Intense but also fun, this course will totally change your life.
You arrive on Sunday and are welcomed with a traditional Tuscan lunch. The remainder of the day is yours to settle in, explore the estate, swim, ride a bicycle or just relax while waiting for dinner to be served.
This program is dedicated to all those who love cooking but also want to explore the scientific and scale precise world of baking. Alessio will guide you step by step while you create your own baked item. Most of our students do not even realize how fast time flies. They always want more and they never get tired, day after day. Our mother yeast is almost 70 yrs old and is the key ingredient. Fear not, you will learn how to make your own.
From Monday though Friday you will have continental breakfast from 8:30 am to 9:30 am then lessons follow. Our lessons are hands on and generally go from 3 to 4 hours in the morning and another 3 to 4 hours in the afternoon on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and 3 hours on Thursday and Friday.
Classes are small and make use of all-natural, seasonally-fresh ingredients from our garden and the local market: farm to table!
