Introduction to French Breads at Bettie's Chicago

About this class

This class teaches the art of French bread baking with a focus on three classic shapes: a crisp baguette, a rustic herbed fougasse, and a rich, tender brioche loaf. Instructor Baker Bettie explains how to develop proper gluten structure, manage proofing times, and create steam in a home oven to achieve a bakery-quality crust. Participants bake all three breads during class and leave with their finished loaves plus digital recipe guides.
