Deborah Todd reviewed: Introduction to Sourdough Bread Making class

"I absolutely loved this course. Great vibe and really helpful. It was lovely to see Ian's beautiful home and get to make bread in such a relaxed and informative atmosphere. Bonding as a group came easily as Ian was such a helpful and charismatic teacher. On top of this I made great tasting bread (verified by my family) and feel I have the skills to continue doing so. "

StagHill Bakes responded:

Frances reviewed: Introduction to Sourdough Bread Making class

"I recently had the pleasure of attending a breadmaking course run by Ian and Michael, and it was nothing short of amazing! From the moment I arrived at their beautiful home, I knew I was in for a treat. The setting alone made the experience so special—an inviting, cosy atmosphere that made you feel right at home. They are both incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about baking and we were through every step of the process with ease, explaining the science behind the ingredients and techniques. An absolute highlight of the day was lunch! Not only did we get to enjoy a spread of freshly baked bread, but they had prepared a feast that perfectly complemented the bread and had me going back for seconds and thirds! Ian and Michael were incredible hosts, and their love for baking truly shone through. Whether you're a complete beginner or a seasoned baker, this course is a fantastic way to learn and enjoy the craft of baking. Oh, and don’t forget to give their dogs some love—they’re as wonderful as the bread!"

"What a wonderful review Frances! Thanks so much for sharing your experience with us. Lotti and Spencer say thank you too 😀"

Belinda Naylor reviewed: Introduction to Sourdough Bread Making class

"This course is brilliant. Ian is a great teacher and really gave a masterclass in teaching us how to bake sourdough, focaccia and rye bread. It was informative and fun and Ian gave us confidence and the tools to make delicious bread. We were made to feel very welcome, were given an excellent lunch and went home with our baked creations and a goodie bag to help us on our way. I highly recommend this course and Ian as a teacher. "
