BBC Maestro Bread Making Course (And #Competition) By @Cinabar

BBC Maestro Bread Making Course


The lovely folks at BBC Maestro asked me if I wanted to try out one of the online BBC Maestro cooking courses and run a giveaway so that one of you could also win a course. There are quite a few to choose from, all presented by experts in their field:

  • Modern Indian cooking with Vineet Bhatia 
  • Classic French Bistro Cooking with Pierre Koffmann 
  • Delicious vegetarian cooking with Marco Pierre White
  • Delicious food cooked simply with Marco Pierre White
  • Bread making with Richard Bertinet

As much as I was intrigued by Modern Indian cooking with Vineet Bhatia, I love baking and couldn’t resist Bread Making with Richard Bertinet, and I signed up.

The lessons are well-presented and comprehensive, and you can watch and re-watch as needed. The pace was right for me; I chose to do one lesson a week as a weekend treat. I have never used fresh yeast before and can only hope to develop my kneading skills to the level of Richard Bertinet. I enjoyed watching to the videos and learned a lot about bread too. For example, breads like Fougasse (see the photo for my effort) start with "fo" as they are derived from the word "fire" where they are baked quickly in high heat. Also, having fresh bread each weekend is an absolute treat. There was even a bonus lesson for making mince pies at Christmas.

Would you like to enter the competition to win a course for yourself? Which course would you pick?
