Gluten-free baking transforms ingredients that many home bakers avoid into show-stopping results that rival their wheat-based counterparts. Across 16 classes at 15 schools nationwide, students master the art of creating everything from rich sticky toffee puddings to savoury tarts with properly crumbly pastry, plus creative offerings like vegan cinnamon buns and chocolate chilli cake. London leads with 4 schools, while specialised classes also run in Brentford and Belfast.
These sessions, typically lasting around 3 hours and priced from £59, focus heavily on alternative flour blends and binding techniques that ensure your quinoa buckwheat loaves rise properly and your Welsh cakes hold together beautifully. Students consistently leave with generous takeaway portions of their creations, often including traditional gluten-free breads baked in Welsh clay pots alongside soda bread and sweet treats.
Schools teaching gluten-free techniques frequently overlap with
Bread Making,
International Baking, and
Sourdough classes, reflecting how fundamental these skills have become across modern baking. All classes welcome complete beginners, making them ideal for anyone managing coeliac disease, gluten sensitivity, or simply wanting to expand their baking repertoire beyond wheat flour.
