About the class

Discover the art of traditional Italian bread baking in this hands-on class focused on rustic, flavorful loaves. You’ll learn to make Pane alle Olive, a hearty olive-studded bread with a crisp crust and rich Mediterranean flavor. Next, we’ll explore Panmarino, a fragrant rosemary bread inspired by the Tuscan countryside, with its golden crust and herb-infused aroma. Finally, enjoy the savory comfort of Pane al Formaggio, a soft and cheesy bread that’s perfect served warm. This class is ideal for bread lovers eager to master time-honored techniques and take home fresh, homemade loaves.

Recipes include:

  • Pane alle Olive – Olive Rustic Bread; 
  • Panmarino Rosemary Bread;
  • Pane al Formaggio
