Bread baking courses in Europe
Hi,
I am a newbie and looking for some inputs/feedback regarding bread baking courses in IT/ES. I have been looking at few institutes that offer boulangerie courses but most of them are in FR. well, i would still consider them if i cant find anything in Italy or Spain. My intent is to learn to skills and understand breads in detail, There are few short courses but i am not sure if i'll be able to pick up or they would meet the expectations. Also if you have any advice on what else i could do to improve my skills in bread baking would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
What country do you currently reside in?
What kind of bread baking skills? Home? Restaurant? Regular bakery? Artisan bakery? Home-based commercial bakery?
If you are in the US, how about Peter Reinhart's school? Or, the school where he teaches.
If you are a newbie, i suggest you try an online course or two before you go to an in person class, that way you should be able to learn more in the in person class. Look for something deep, not a hour or so. I liked this class, https://shop.mybluprint.com/baking/classes/artisan-bread-making/35515 it is 5 1/2 hours for $20, which is a pretty good value, and Reinhart is a pretty well respected instructor. Obviously, you will get more hands on instruction in a live class, but this , or a similar online class, should help present some of the concepts so the in person class won't be too overwhelming.
