The Artisan Bakery School
Dragan Matijevic“My fascination with breadmaking was born of necessity in the mid seventies, when I first arrived in this country. The bread in England then was, and still largely is, fast to produce and chemically induced. No wonder that today we have such a huge number of people suffering from bread allergies.Coming from a macho culture, barely able to fry an egg, I was forced to learn how to bake a decent loaf, just to survive.But my really passionate quest for the perfect loaf began later on in my life. Wanting to learn absolutely everything about what makes dough work, I picked up tips from master bakers everywhere, as well as trying one thousand and one ways of making bread.The answer was to ditch everything but the essentials (good flour, clean water, salt and yeast) and give it all plenty of time.Today, to make my perfect loaf, I prefer to use heritage flours (or gluten free flour), coupled with the time-honoured method of long fermentation, which makes delicious and beautiful breads that are also good for health.I use mainly sourdough retardation method because it is dead easy (15 minutes hands on) and produces the best tasting loaves. My dough takes between 12 and 144 hours to develop and each loaf is carefully hand-crafted. That’s why I call my loaves ‘artisan’.My greatest pleasure is when people come to us saying that they can eat bread again, because properly fermented dough is easy to digest. Or our students telling us that after the course with us they have never bought another loaf of bread again!”Apart from baking Dragan does magic shows for all ages and writes books for children.Penny WilliamsPenny was fortunate enough to have a mother and two grandmothers who were all great cooks, and happy to have their kids in the kitchen. The teaching came almost by osmosis.As a three-year old Penny remembers coming in from the garden to poke a curious, muddy finger into a mesmerising pillow of white dough rising in a bowl and squeaking with guilty alarm at the grubby dent she had made. To her astonishment, the dent disappeared, just as her laughing mother said it would. Penny’s lifelong passion for creating good food made it natural for her to bake bread, but it wasn’t until she met Dragan that she really developed those skills.The Rise of Real Bread Conference in 2009 was her first encounter with the artisan bakers, millers, farmers, scientists, ecologists, writers and activists that are fighting for a better loaf on Britain’s tables. It was a watershed moment.Penny says “We can only change the way people bake and think about bread one person at a time. But if we do it often enough, for long enough, we will contribute to positive change. That’s our reason for being.But the most fun part of The Artisan Bakery School is running the weekend courses. It’s all about making people feel at home, preparing something special for them at every meal, gathering round the table, or round the fire, enjoying a glass of wine and telling stories after dinner. You wouldn’t believe how many amazing tales our bakers have to tell!”Apart from being a baker Penny is a professional copywriter and an author of a number of fictional books, both for children and adults.

Brilliant baking, without the gluten
This book is for everyone who loves good food, especially good bread. It was written to show how flours milled from nuts, beans, grains and vegetable starches – which are all naturally gluten-free - can be turned into nutritious breads with real artisan appeal: great texture, great flavour and bags of character.
Good food should help to heal both bodies and souls. We believe that breaking bread together, or sharing a meal around a table, is one of the most healing things people can do. If you have a wheat or gluten allergy or sensitivity, or if you suffer from coeliac disease, you will know just how uninspiring the store-bought varieties of gluten-free breads can be, how expensive they are to buy and how many bizarre additives they often contain. This book shows how easy it is to make the sort of luscious, healthy, life-affirming loaves your whole family (and all your gourmet guests) will be excited about sharing with you. So you no longer have to be the odd one out at the table.
The plant kingdom is full of naturally gluten-free sources of bread-making flour. Around the planet, entire cultures have been built on the sustaining qualities of teff, rice, amaranth or quinoa, each with their own unique cuisine. None of them uses chemicals or additives, and nor do
