Christmas Bread Basket Workshop - Saturday 5th December - 10am-3pm

Celebrate the season with a cosy morning of festive bread making at Willow Bakery School.

Join us for a relaxed, hands-on workshop where you'll learn the art of working with enriched and artisan doughs while baking three beautiful breads that are perfect for sharing throughout the Christmas season.

Whether you're completely new to bread making or looking to add some festive favourites to your repertoire, you'll leave with new skills, delicious bakes and plenty of Christmas inspiration.

During the workshop you'll make:

Cinnamon Star Bread

Our showstopper festive bake. Layers of soft enriched dough are filled with buttery cinnamon sugar before being twisted into a beautiful star shape and baked until golden. Finished with a light dusting of icing sugar, it's perfect for sharing on Christmas morning or as the centrepiece of your festive table.

Rosemary & Sea Salt Christmas Tree Focaccia

Discover the secrets to creating light, airy focaccia before decorating your dough with fresh rosemary, tomatoes and olives to create a beautiful Christmas tree design.

Orange, Cardamom & Cinnamon Morning Buns

Soft, fluffy breakfast buns scented with orange zest, warming cinnamon and fragrant cardamom, finished with a delicate citrus glaze.
