The Bread Day
£245.00
Bread Making Course at River Cottage HQ
Bread has always been at the heart of River Cottage HQ, and our bread-making course is one of our most loved experiences. In this newly revamped version, our expert chefs will guide you through every stage of the baking process. By the end of the day, you’ll leave with the skills, knowledge, and confidence to bake a variety of breads at home.
At River Cottage, we bake all our bread from scratch, including our signature classic farmhouse loaf. Your day begins with mastering this delicious staple. From there, you’ll expand your repertoire by exploring international favourites like focaccia, crafting your own pizza dough for a wood-fired pizza lunch, and working with sweet doughs to make cinnamon doughnuts and chocolate brioche. You’ll also learn to whip up foolproof soda bread, perfect for a comforting teatime treat.
This course isn’t just about recipes—it’s about transforming the way you think about bread. Many of our guests say it’s a turning point, inspiring them to ditch shop-bought bread for good!

Under-16s must be accompanied by a paying adult. These guidelines are in place to ensure the safety, comfort, and enjoyment of all our guests.
