There are few smells more evocative or mouth watering than that of freshly baked bread.

The day starts off with cinnamon buns and an introduction to sour dough, we then take a short break for lunch – naturally accompanied by freshly baked bread -followed by Focaccia, a rye and fennel bread as well as Italian Grissini.
