Artisan bread is special: it demands a variety of skills, a knowledge of kneading, fermenting and shaping together with the essential ingredient of time. But artisan bread is more than the sum of its parts. It is a state of mind, a focus on what we are trying to achieve. It is a commitment to quality. It is an understanding that we do this out of determination to be individualists and eat only wonderful bread.

Join master baker, Carl Shavitz, learn the secrets of baking European breads from sourdough to Italian delicacies, and become an artisan baker in your own home.

I am indeed pleased to have learned from you.  What I knew prior to the course
was gleaned from a couple of books, some websites posted by perfect strangers
with no credentials, and my own pathetic experiments.  You, the oven, the quality of the bread,
the techniques, and the company (yes, it’s true) were all inspiring.  I’m a much better baker
and I see a path to continue to learn and practice and perfect.

I must say your course was a huge step in
my new career path, and for that
I am very grateful to you.
