Fresh from the Oven: Bread Baking School

The smell of bread baking transforms any living space into cozy home. Everyone loves bread--notice the way people instantly dig into fragrant bread baskets at their favorite restaurants. If you've never made bread before, there's no reason to be afraid of working with yeast. Just take a bread baking class and learn the magic technique. With just the simplest ingredients--sometimes nothing more than water, flour, yeast and salt--you can produce a beautiful, tall, golden loaf of homemade bread.

Learn a New Skill in Culinary School

But if you want to do more than make simple breads, you might want to check out baking school and see what classes they have to offer. Classes in bread baking can teach you to go beyond simple white breads and work with whole wheat flours, full grains, and to make specialty breads, from breads with a molten heart of cheddar cheese to petit pain au chocolat that French school children take for breakfast- they hold the loaves in their hands to warm them, then eat the bread with the warm, gooey chocolate heart.

Baking schools can also teach you to make little breads, from dinner rolls to hot cross buns, the elegant croissant to the trusty hamburger bun. You'll learn how to make egg washes from whites or yolks, with milk and without, how to get an extra shiny or crunch crust and how to incorporate everything from rosemary leaves to raisins to cheese into your breads.

Bread Baking Careers: If You Really Like "Loafing"

You can also take classes in baking school on everything from flat bread to sweet bread and everything in between, including Mexican Bread of the Dead (Dia de los Muertos bread, orange flavored and adorned with skulls.) A good baking school can equip you with the information and skills to bake just about any kind of bread.

And after you finish baking class, you might find yourself looking ahead to a career in baking. Yeast and creativity tend to be addictive and so does the tantalizing scent of fresh homemade bread.
