Baking Basics

Hands-on cooking class + live demonstrations

Beginner friendly. Participants under 13 must be accompanied by an enrolled responsible adult.

What you’ll learn

This week is about building confidence with simple baking and oven cooking — no stress, no complicated techniques.

You’ll learn how to:

• Make a soft, versatile flatbread from scratch

• Understand basic dough handling and resting

• Use the oven to bring out flavour and texture in vegetables

• Balance fresh, creamy, and roasted elements on a plate

• Turn bread-based leftovers into completely new meals

This is baking you’ll actually use in everyday life.

What you’ll cook

We focus on warm, shareable, Mediterranean-style food:

• Warm Homemade Flatbread with Roast Veg & Herby Yoghurt
  Soft bread, caramelised vegetables, and fresh flavours

Then we turn leftovers into next-day dishes:

• Rustic Panzanella Bread Salad

• Anytime Breakfast Muffins (Sweet)

You’ll see how baking once can stretch into breakfasts, lunches, and easy meals later on.

What to bring

• Comfortable, closed-toe shoes

• A willingness to get your hands into dough

What you’ll take home

• Recipes from class

• Confidence working with simple doughs

• New ways to use your oven beyond “just roasting”

• Skills to turn basic ingredients into satisfying, homemade meals
