Join Jo Pratt for a relaxed, hands-on bread masterclass designed for anyone who wants to master a few reliable, everyday bakes. This is all about keeping things simple, approachable and achievable - perfect for building confidence in the kitchen.

You’ll learn a handful of failsafe recipes that you can return to again and again, from a classic white farmhouse loaf to a quick and satisfying soda bread. We’ll also make a fruit and nut loaf, crisp grissini breadsticks and finish with soft, sweet cinnamon buns - because no baking session is complete without a treat.

Along the way, you’ll pick up essential techniques, practical tips and the know-how to get great results at home, every time. Whether you’re new to bread making or looking to refine your basics, this class will leave you feeling confident, inspired and ready to bake.

Within the class, we will sit down and have lunch whilst some of the doughs are rising.

We handle all types of ingredients in the kitchen at Divertimenti and we are not able to completely allergen free environment, our kitchen is multi-purpose therefore this makes our kitchen unsuitable for those with life- threatening allergies, in such cases as these we would suggest getting in touch with the team to arrange a private lesson in your own home with one of our chefs.
