Join Tara Taylor for a practical, hands-on introduction to gluten-free bread-making, exploring sourdough, poolish and traditional yeasted methods. With Gluten Free Flours from Shipton Mill, this immersive hands-on experience will give you the skills to carry on baking at home.

During this five-hour workshop, you will make:

• A gluten-free sourdough loaf

• Poolish crackers to enjoy with lunch

• A yeasted chocolate & orange loaf

• Poolish caramelised onion flatbreads

This class goes beyond simply following a recipe. You will learn how different methods of fermentation affect flavour, texture and structure, and how to recognise when a dough is properly mixed, hydrated, proved and ready to bake.

ara will demonstrate how to start, feed and look after a gluten-free sourdough starter, as well as how to prepare and bake with a poolish. You will explore the role of warmth, humidity and steam, and learn how over-proving or using too much steam can affect the finished bake.

Rather than relying on a ready-made flour blend, the class uses individual gluten-free flours, starches and psyllium husk powder from Shipton Mill. Through practical mixing demonstrations, you will see how each flour absorbs water and behaves differently, why gluten-free flours are not directly interchangeable and how psyllium helps create structure in the absence of gluten.

- Refreshments on arrival and available throughout the class
- Apron and all of the equipment required for the session
