During our workshops we focus in particular on the questions regarding how things take place rather than simply what takes place in the process of baking bread. This way we hope to provide you with the autonomy to adjust recipes and procedures for bread making to the circumstances with which you personally are baking. Workshops are in English, unless stated differently.
We occasionally have other and new programs in the workshop calendar, including the informal baking lab experience, in which you can work (and learn) with us during a regular baking day.
Workshops can also be booked with a gift voucher .
You can also buy our sourdough starter on-line.
Cancelling or rebooking a workshop: read the policy, the conditions and whether and when you can rebook.
No experience with baking bread? Choose the Basic Bread Workshop (yeast & sourdough) for beginners! If you have some baking experience, try the Basic Sourdough Workshop. The Intermediate Sourdough Workshop is recommended for participants with some prior experience. For those with sourdough baking experience who want to focus on hands-on practice, the informal Baking Lab Experience is the perfect choice.

The workshops often incorporate an extra workshop theme or professional guest. | Theme & SPECIAL Workshops (often prior experience is required) |
| Have you worked with sourdough before and do you want to learn more about the underlying principles to improve your control over the proces?

| Perhaps the most interesting program we offer now. With – on average – no more than 2 participants who can co-work with us for an entire day in the bakery. This program gives you the feeling of of what happens in a small circular bakery. Although it is not a formal workshop, there is plenty of room for personal contact, asking questions and informal learning. Food and drinks are included in the price of this more personal experience. | Baking Lab Experience |
