Professional Program "Bread & Bakery"
in partnership with FERRANDI Paris
Duration: 1 Semester (16 weeks, 660 hours)
Participants: 10 people
Working language: English
An intensive 16-week program suitable for both home bakers and professionals. It combines daily hands-on work with in-depth theoretical training to develop technical skills and a deeper understanding of ingredients, fermentation processes, and the cultural significance of bread and baked goods.
From French classics to contemporary trends, the professional Bread and Bakery program will teach you to confidently prepare baguettes, brioche, croissants, artisan sourdough, and many other beloved baked goods. With the guidance of our chef instructors, you will build confidence and sharpen your precision, creativity, and consistency.
A key focus is natural fermentation — you will learn to create and maintain a sourdough starter, as well as understand the balance between yeast and natural leavening. You will also connect with tradition, preparing aromatic sourdough bread and artisan pizza in an outdoor wood-fired oven.
During the program, you will explore the journey of bread up close — from grain to finished product — through organized visits to local mills, flour producers, and artisan bakeries.
Theoretical training covers modules on entrepreneurship, kitchen organization, food safety, management, and more.
The professional program "Bread and Bakery" will teach you not just a craft, but how to think and act like a professional baker — from organizing time and tasks, through planning and managing inventory and production, to the artistic presentation and sale of finished products.
