This course will be released gradually. The existing course contains Stollen and laminated doughs (puff pastry, Danish pastry and Pastry for Pasteis de nata or Portuguese custard tarts. Each dough is laminated in a different way, giving you a range of skills that you can expand into a multitude of other bakes. Then there are the enriched breads, starting with brioche, scrolls and babka. During January and February 2021 I will add savoury brioche buns and breads - kimchi couronne, carrot buns, stuffed buns and wild garlic bread. The recipes can be customised to your heart's delight with the various fillings and streusel toppings once you have learned how to make a twisted bread, laminated scrolls and pull apart buns. The content will be added as I record and edit the lessons - some will just be recipes as you won't need an extra lesson for everything. Whenever you purchase the course, you will get the extra content as it is added. Join the Facebook group or check back regularly during January and February to see what is new.

FAQs

Find out if this course is right for you

  • Does this course have dairy free options?

    This course is not currently suitable for a dairy free diet. I have only tested the recipes using butter, milk and yogurt and that's how they work best. In the future I will retest all recipes with alternatives. Dairy free substitution suggestions are given, but have not been tested. Please read through the free preview on ingredients for more information.

  • Is this course suitable for nut free diets?

    You can usually find a substitute for nuts, in frangipane or almond paste, you can use a different nut, or sunflower or sesame seeds - or use another filling such as fruit, creme patissiere, ganache etc. For the brioche dough which contains cashews, you can use oats or possibly cassava flour or tigernut flour, but these last two options are untested, so contact me if cashews are an issue for you and we can discuss alternatives.

  • Does this course have egg free and vegan options?

    No, this course is not currently suitable for vegans. Some recipes use egg and this is integral in the recipe. In the future I may formulate vegan versions of the recipes.

  • Can I watch the lessons in my own time?

    Yes! The course materials are all prerecorded, so if your day time is my night time don't worry. If you have questions, concerns or want to share your wonderful bakes you can do that in the Facebook support group for the course, where other students will give feedback as well as me.

  • Does this course use xanthan gum?

    Yes, these recipes do use xanthan gum to help provide the stretch required for lamination. However, it is possible to use psyllium only, just a little more technically demanding for the baker. I discuss this in the course, but if you are concerned get in touch before purchasing the course.

  • Can I use chia seeds or linseed/flax in place of psyllium or xanthan gum?

    No. Unfortunately, those ingredients do not bind well enough to help the dough stretch in the right way.

Enriched breads coming to the course by 2021!

The second part of the course will be released by early January 2021 - maybe before! All extra content will be available to all students no matter when you you joined the course

  • Babka

    This buttery bread is layered with muscovado chocolate filling (or poppyseed and almond) before being rolled, sliced, twisted and baked into a marbled teatime treat.

  • Cinnamon scrolls

    Tender, pull-apart buns filled with cinnamon and maple butter or cardamom and a Danish Buns variation with creme patissiere and quincemeat. Fingers crossed that I can also work this dough into those amazing knotted Swedish buns called Kardemummabullar.

  • Brioche & iced buns

    A rich dough for burger buns, sunday brunch and the best french toast you ever had. Plus some retro iced buns which are a UK favourite with anyone who was a child in the 1970s. In the Facebook group we'll play around with variations to make hot cross buns, tea loaf and olive breads - or whatever takes our creative fancy.
