Which workshop or Baking Lab experience should I attend?

Each workshop is a self-contained program you can join on its own.

If you’re new to bread baking, we recommend the ‘Start with Bread’ Workshop Programme (I).
If you have some bread baking experience, you can take our ‘Shaping’ Workshop (IV) to deepen your skills and knowledge about structure and gluten.
If you have some sourdough baking experience, consider ‘Sourdough Basics’ Workshop Programme (II) to go deeper into sourdough maintenance and fermentation.
If you’re an experienced sourdough baker, join ‘Intermediate Sourdough’ Workshop Programme (III) or an Informal Baking Lab Experience* to deepen your skills.
You can also combine our workshops and informal experiences over time to steadily improve your bread-baking skills.

*Note: our Informal Baking Lab Experience can be taken at whatever baking level you are at, but will not focus on much theory.

During our workshops we focus in particular on the questions regarding how things take place rather than simply what takes place in the process of baking bread. This way we hope to provide you with the autonomy to adjust recipes and procedures for bread making to the circumstances with which you personally are baking. Workshops are in English, unless stated differently.

We occasionally have other and new programs in the workshop calendar.

Workshops can also be booked with a gift voucher .
You can also buy our sourdough starter on-line.
Cancelling or rebooking a workshop: read the policy, the conditions and whether and when you can rebook.

Just beginning or no experience at all? This workshop is the right starting point for you.	Start with Bread workshop for beginners (no prior experience necessary)
Are you curious about sourdough bread baking? This workshop is better suited to people who have baked a few breads or tried a hand at sourdough already. The focus of this workshop will be on working with the senses to get a feel for the process. You will be learning more in depth about sourdough maintenance and fermentation.	Sourdough baking for beginners (some experience is required)
Do you have quite some experience baking sourdough bread and taking care of a sourdough starter? Maybe you already attended one of our Sourdough Workshops and have gone on to regularly bake at home? Then our Intermediate Sourdough Workshop is for you. This workshop is all about gaining the knowledge and confidence to change that process. By playing around with time, temperature and hydration, we will see how we can tweak a recipe, and eventually create our own. If you want to gain more practical experience, choose the Baking Lab Experience.	Intermediate: Sourdough Workshop (prior experience required)
The workshop theme may vary. In general these SPECIAL workshop address specific questions related to sourdough and baking. We also have more time to explain important aspects of fermentation and the underlying science of fermentation. The workshops often incorporate an extra workshop theme or a professional guest.	Theme & SPECIAL Workshops
Learn more about the science and how to use your senses to improve the fermentation process in this more advanced bread workshop. We tap deeper into the science of fermentation and the way our senses perceive fermentation flavours. We lean more on experiments during this workshop. Understanding key concepts related to fermentation allow bakers to tweak recipes and methods and build a more meaningful and creative baking narrative.	Science and Senses (prior sourdough experience necessary, leans on experiments , advanced class)
You can co-work with us for an entire day in the bakery. This program gives you the feeling of of what happens in a small circular bakery. This is not a formal workshop, so there won’t be much theory, but there is plenty of room for personal contact, asking questions and informal learning. Food and drinks are included in the price of this more personal experience.	Baking Lab Experience
