Bread: From wheat to crust

A course for food enthusiasts who wish to immerse themselves in the world of baking through all the phases: from the importance of using the right raw materials, to the attention and care in making the dough and during the cooking phase. We will delve into how bread, made with just a few simple ingredients, is actually the fruit of research, right choices, hard work and patience.

A course that embraces the entire bread universe and supply chain: from the rediscovery of ancient grains to the choice of flours and the use of sourdough, up to the preparation of the dough and cooking.

The course will be conducted by teachers and professionals from the Pollenzo Food Lab to provide the right theoretical notions that will be tested in practical sessions, with visits to a local mill and bakery.
