So happy I took this class. The class was filled with great information. Roe makes it simple and easy. I'll be milling my own grains from now on! No more store bought breads or flours. I'm super excited!

Very knowledgeable about the process and how to vary options and flavors.
There were a few times it was not as fluid as it could be, new location for her and there were some spices, ingredients missing for recipes...but we learned we could improvise!

This class exceeded all my expectations! I’ve taken bread baking classes before, but always left feeling overwhelmed. Roe Showed us how to make bread, and even how to mill our own flour. And he gave us a starter and easy recipe to be able to continue to make bread at home. If you’re interested in learning how to bake your own bread, take this class!

No one responded to my question about the use of LYE so I just skipped it. Both me and my business partner paid for a class we didn't attend. DONE with Coursehorse!!!

I enjoyed the class very much. The instructor was very informative. I would highly recommend this class to anyone that wants to make high quality bread with little effort. My only issue was there is only street parking and I had to park 1/2 mile away.

Great class! Loved the bit of flour history. Roe is a great teacher and host -- it was a pleasure to join him in his space and learn to make bread from 100% freshly milled flour!
100% Whole Wheat Sourdough Bread
Reviewed by Winifred H. on 7/22/2019
Though I have made sourdough many times with store bought flour, I took this class because I've never made 100% wholewheat bread. I enjoyed the whole process, we actually ground the wheat we used to make the dough, which was a first for me. The flavor of wholewheat bread made with freshly ground wheat is really good and the taste is so different from wholewheat bread you buy in a store. We had to take our dough home to bake (sourdough bread making is longer process so I knew we couldn't bake the dough we made in class, since it was a 3-hour class). We taste sampled bread that the instructor had made earlier and baked in class and he also made fresh butter - it was all delicious. We also got enough wheat berries and fresh ground wheat to take home make more bread, plus sourdough starter.
The people in the class ranged from those who had never made any kind of bread before to some who had experience with sourdough. I thought the instructor was very good at explaining things to everybody and answering questions as they came up.
