Sourdough Bread, Focaccia and Pizza Workshop Reviews

5 Rating 46 Reviews

This is a fun activity in Highgate, London

In this North London baking class, you'll learn the step-by-step process of making sourdough bread, focaccia, and pizza. You’ll also create your own sourdough focaccia, customising it with your choice of toppings from pre-fermented dough.

We'll cover how to maintain a healthy, active sourdough starter and explore what to do with any leftover starter, including making sourdough pancakes and crackers.

At the end of the session, you'll enjoy a delicious vegetarian lunch, including the creations made during class.

Plus, you'll take home your own sourdough starter, a loaf of Bernie's Bakehouse sourdough, a dough scraper, and recipe sheets to help you continue your sourdough journey.

“Such a unique and high quality experience. I bought this for my partner, who was interested in learning to make sourdough. I bought a spot for myself so that he wasn’t alone but I wasn’t too interested in the topic (just the benefits of him learning!). But I’m so glad I came. From the start to the stop, it was a warm, welcoming, and high quality experience. Nicole took us through all the stages of sourdough bread making with such care and passion; it was impossible not to be enthusiastic. We were as hands on as we wanted to be, and we all learned so much! My expectations were blown away. In addition to the sourdough, we made our own sourdough focaccias and sourdough pizzas which we ate together (taking the rest home). She also showed us how to make delicious healthy crackers and savory pancakes, which we all got to eat as well. And in addition to her pre-made sourdough loaves and our leftover focaccia, and our full bellies, we went home with our own sourdough starters! If the idea of trying to keep a starter alive stresses you out (like it did me), rest assured. You can always get in contact with Nicole for help! Nicole is really good at what she does. Thank you so much for a beautiful day, Nicole!”

“Nicole was great!! Explained everything clearly and answered our questions. The demos were easy to follow and everyone got a chance to get involved. Loved the fact that we were a small group of six and everyone got on. Having lunch together to eat the focaccia and pizza we'd made was an added bonus, and topped off by Nicole's delicious soup and salads. Learned so much ... Would highly recommend!”

“I had a fantastic time learning all about sourdough in the most stunning environment with great people. I can’t rate this course highly enough. Nicole was a brilliant teacher and didn’t over complicate the process. There was a lot to learn but she was super organised so it all worked perfectly. I also liked learning about the delicious crackers and pancakes that could be made with the excess starter. I can’t wait to make them at home. I really enjoyed the beautiful, healthy lunch Nicole prepared for us which we ate with our own pizza and focaccia. I left the course feeling energised and full of inspiration and enthusiasm to create. Thank you Nicole.”

“I had the most wonderful time at Nicole’s sourdough workshop yesterday. Nicole is a brilliant, warm, and welcoming teacher who guided us step-by-step through making bread, focaccia, and pizza with such clarity and passion. The atmosphere was relaxed and friendly, and we even got to take home delicious “doggy bags” of our creations along with a sourdough starter to continue baking at home. Nicole treated us to a beautiful lunch in her garden – homemade soup, fresh salad, and the breads we’d just baked – making the day feel truly special. A perfect blend of learning, warmth, and great food.”

“I had the best time at this Sourdough Class by Bernie’s Bakehouse. It was really hands on, interactive and Nicole has a wealth of knowledge that she openly shared with the class. She was really hospitable and I really enjoyed the environment. I’m looking forward to putting my newfound skills at use and creating delicious goodies! Thank you for being amazing”
