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.

“I had a great time at Berni's Bakehouse workshop and enjoyed learning all about how to make great sourdough and getting hands on with focaccia and pizza. Host Nicole was lovely and delivered a really engaging workshop. I would recommend the workshop to anyone new to baking or looking to improve their baking skills.”

“Very informative class and knowledgeable teacher. The food was delicious and hands down the best foccacia I've ever had. Made it twice since and I(&friends) can't get enough. Thank you!”

“I had the absolute pleasure of attending Nicole’s sourdough baking class, and it was such a memorable experience! We learned how to make sourdough bread, focaccia, and pizza from scratch, as well as creative and practical ways to use leftover starter, which was a great bonus. Nicole is a fabulous and knowledgeable host — warm, welcoming, and passionate about her craft. Her love for sourdough really shines through in the way she teaches, and her approach made the class feel relaxed, fun, and hands-on. After all the kneading, stretching, and baking, Nicole treated us to a delicious lunch of soup, salad, and hummus — all enjoyed alongside the focaccia and pizzas we’d just made. It was the perfect way to round off the day. Thank you, Nicole, for a lovely experience we’ll all remember and treasure.”

“Nicole’s Sourdough masterclass was a truly special experience and exceeded our expectations in every way! I booked it as a gift for my partner’s birthday and Nicole very kindly helped facilitate the surprise of his family being there for the class too. She provided such a welcoming atmosphere in her beautiful space, teaching us to make all kinds of sourdough variations and then creating a gorgeous lunch spread that rivalled anything we could have got at a fancy restaurant. It was a really intimate and friendly environment to learn how to make sourdough, and I would enthusiastically recommend it as a gift for a loved one with a penchant for baking and/or bread! We had so much fun, and leaving with bags full of bread and our own starters was an extra nice touch. As for the bread - words fail; arrive hungry! Thank you, Nicole, for this fabulous experience and introduction to sourdough.”

“A really lovely workshop! Nicole is a calm and considered teacher. She explained how to create all the various doughs we looked at, calmly and with extreme patience. Afterwards, we enjoyed a delicious vegetarian lunch all together, including some of the things we'd made in the morning. I signed up for the workshop as I have wanted to find out about how to make sourdough bread for a long time but felt a bit daunted and unsure as to how to start. Attending the workshop has removed all those doubts and I am feeling fired up now to begin my sourdough journey! Thank you Nicole.”
