Some House of Bread Bakery Cafes offer hands-on bread baking classes. The San Luis Obispo House of Bread has put the in store classes on hold until we can host the students without concern for distancing. However, we still are offering private classes in store classes, which allows you to pick your fellow students and baking topics. The students will be mixing their ingredients and kneading their own dough by hand. As a group, they learn how bread is made, the chemistry behind successful loaves, how dough is kneaded, how it should feel, how to bake it and what creative, fun things can be made. Students leave with their own loaves or other products, recipe packets, enough flour to make their own bread at home, and the knowledge to make bread from scratch.

There are no prerequisites to the classes, so beginners and advanced students are welcome. Classes start at 10:30am, except Gluten free and Vegan, which start at 9:30. Classes last approximately 3 hours. All classes cost $68 per person. Adult Child class is $30 per child, with at least one paying adult of $68. Minimum age is 8 years old. Classes include mixing, kneading, baking instructions, take home recipes, breads and other treats made by your own two hands! Class size is limited to seven people.
