The workshop in detail
This workshop is only open to people that had an inititaion and that would like to improve their skills in this know-how.
Alice welcomes you to her workshop for two consecutive days to improve your mastery of sourdough baking in a warm atmosphere and the smell of bread. If you already bake sourdough bread but would like to improve your techniques and expand your range with brioches and composite breads, this course is for you!Ā Ā
During 2 days you will be guided by Alice, artisan baker. You will alternate moments of theory and practice in order to master the principles of natural fermentation, understand the different leavens and the key technical gestures to vary the recipes.
After a reminder of the basics of sourdough, you will discover the techniques and tricks to create a well-cellularized crumb that you will put into practice by making sourdough baguettes. You will also understand the different sourdoughs and vary the fermentation parameters that impact the taste and texture of the bread (seeding, hydration, temperature...). The theory will be put into practice with a test of several breads made with various conditions and you will make a bread of your own composition. You will also learn how to make an ultra tasty and light 100% sourdough brioche with different shaping methods (braid, ball, Parisian...).
During these two intense days, you will also have the opportunity to taste a variety of breads with tea or coffee and home-made kefir. Alice will also prepare a light lunch each day.Ā
You will leave these two days of training with a jar of sourdough, explanatory cards & recipes and all your bakery creations!

Meet Alice
Baker
Alice worked in a large cosmetics company before discovering sourdough baking, first as a hobby and then as a passion that finally became a driving force for changing her career.
She therefore decided to train at the International Bakery School in the South of France, which specialises in artisanal sourdough methods. She launched her first workshops and the pandemic period then led to a real craze for her area of baking.
This was an opportunity for her to create a network and go to the United States to complete her training at the San Francisco Baking Institute. There, she broadened her knowledge and experience in the different leavens and types of bread (special breads and buns).
Back in Belgium in 2021, she passed her baker's exams and then relaunched her workshops with more advanced modules and that's when it all took off!
Always eager to share her hobby, her experience and give everyone the chance to introduce a bit of magic back into their daily life with decent, healthy products, she can't wait to welcome you to her workshop for a unique experience!
