Full course details

This day is all about making bread a much more regular affair in your life. This is a completely hands-on class where you will get elbow-deep in the simple and life-giving ingredients that feed us well: flour, yeast, water, and salt. From quick breads to simple yeasted breads and sweet buns that could double-up as dessert, we'll guide you along the way to some serious bread nirvana.

We’ll conclude the day with a lively lunch and glass of wine to mark the beginning of a delicious new chapter ahead of you.

Unfortunately, this class is not suitable for gluten-free diets.

  • "Professional and fun experience"

    An excellent, professional, and fun experience. I am looking forward to another day. I can seriously say it was just perfect. It was action packed, tight to the end. The timing was spot on. I loved every minute, and thrilled with what I learnt.

Frequently asked questions

  • Should I eat something before I come?
  • On all our courses you will be eating the dishes you prepare in the hands-on session and everyone generally leaves us well-fed. Bear in mind that it takes time to whip up what we've planned and we recommend you eat something before you arrive at the school. All food cooked in the school is intended to be eaten on the premises.

  • What level of cooking experience do I need?
  • The beauty of how we design all of our courses is that anyone of any level can join us. While someone new to the kitchen will find support as they manoeuvre through new techniques, the more seasoned cooks in our group will thrive on all the pointers we offer for further improvement. Our course material is layered and we know how to quickly adapt to a moving room. Constant, open-ended learning is one of the things we love the most about being in the kitchen and our tutors' enthusiastic teaching style and patience is a testament to that.

  • What if I have a food allergy or dietary restrictions?
  • If you suffer from a severe nut, egg, dairy, seafood, wheat allergy or coeliac disease, please contact us before booking and we'll be able to confirm whether or not a specific course menu is adaptable. Certain course themes may not be adaptable in order to stay true to the course brief. Where we can accommodate a dietary requirement the curriculum for other students will remain the same as the original.

    You must bring an Epi-pen. If your food allergy is airborne, due to the wide range of course themes and events that we host, our environment is not safe for you. Please note that while every care will be taken to provide a safe and enjoyable cooking experience for all students, there is always the risk of cross-contamination.

  • What if I can't make it to a course or dining event that I've booked?
  • If you cannot make a course that you have booked, you are more than welcome to send someone in your place (18 years or older). Just give us a call with the name change and we'll take good care of them. If this can't be arranged and you need to cancel your place, please take a look at our our full Terms & Conditions, go to https://dublincookeryschool.ie/terms to see what rules apply to you.

  • Is there an age requirement?
  • All of our regular courses are designed for adults. The minimum age for someone coming on their own is 18 years. If someone younger is joining us, they must be accompanied and booked on with an adult. Please note that our course fees apply to each attendee, regardless of age.

    Our Growing Gourmet and 1 Week Essential Skills for TY courses are for teenagers only.

  • What is parking like in the area?
  • Metered parking can be found right outside the school and on surrounding streets Monday-Saturday from 8.00-19.00. Please do not park on the grass verges opposite the school, on resident disabled parking spots, or on the double yellow lines in the area. For more info, go to https://www.dublincookeryschool.ie/your-visit.

Your course itinerary

09:15 AM – 9:30 AM

Everyone is encouraged to arrive 15 minutes prior to the course start-time. After we sign you in, we'll help you settle in with a coffee or tea before we get started. This is a great time to get to know your fellow students.

09:30 AM – 02:00 PM

This is a unique course because today, we'll be jumping into the Hands-On Kitchen early and taking our cue from how our breads are developing. We will be weaving Demo and Hands-On elements all through the day.

2:00 - 3:00 PM

Around this time of the day, the ovens are usually brimming with all of our collective baking projects that have accumulated through the day. As we wait in anticipation, this is a great time to raise any lingering questions you may have with our team.
