From the familiar Italian focaccia and Indian naan to Moroccan khobz and Middle Eastern maneesh flatbreads, students will learn how to prepare a range of bread doughs and undertake the appropriate cooking methods for each product.
During the day you will be able to enjoy some of your fresh bread alongside a light lunch which will be provided in Ashfields restaurant. All other items produced can be taken home for you to enjoy or share.
Any dietary requirements, allergies or intolerances can be accommodated within the menu for the day. Please contact Gio directly at gachenza@yorkcollege.ac.uk to discuss any specific requirements.
