Canterbury Baking School

Canterbury Baking School specialises in bread baking using heritage grains including spelt, kamut, wheat and rye, which students mill themselves on the day. The school follows a '100% Bread' philosophy — using 100% of the grain with no additives — and offers classes from basic bread and sourdough through to bagels, pretzels, enriched doughs, pizza, and professional baker training, with a maximum of 6–8 students per class.

Comprehensive bread-making courses cover everything from basic loaves to artisan specialities like bagels, pretzels and sourdough, alongside cake decorating and chocolate work. Classes welcome beginners through to all skill levels, with one-to-one sessions available for personalised learning.
