The Bread School

Set against the dramatic backdrop of Teignmouth's south Devon coastline, The Bread School operates from a working bakery where the salt air meets the scent of freshly baked loaves. This dedicated bread-making establishment focuses exclusively on the ancient craft of artisan baking, bringing traditional techniques to the picturesque seaside town. The school specialises in bread making classes that welcome bakers at every stage of their journey, from complete novices handling flour for the first time to experienced home bakers seeking to refine their technique. The curriculum spans both foundational skills and more adventurous territories, with Italian bread making classes forming part of the regular programme. These two-hour sessions, priced from £75, guide participants through the distinctive methods that characterise Italy's regional bread traditions. Operating from an active bakery provides students with an authentic learning environment where they can observe professional baking processes alongside their instruction. The school's singular focus on bread craft means every aspect of the facility and teaching approach is tailored specifically to developing skills in dough handling, fermentation, shaping, and baking techniques. This specialisation extends beyond basic loaf making to encompass the broader range of artisan bread, including sourdough cultivation and pastry work. The Bread School suits anyone drawn to the meditative rhythm of bread making, from curious beginners wanting to master their first successful loaf to dedicated enthusiasts ready to explore the regional specialities of European baking traditions in Devon's coastal setting.
