Ever feel you just don't have time to bake bread at home?
Same here! So here are my top tips for baking great fresh bread in a short amount of time.
1. USE YOUR FRIDGE: After kneading the dough, rise it overnight in the fridge. The dough will rise more slowly in the cold plus this helps develop great flavour in your final bread.
2. NO-KNEAD BREADS: This technique uses lots more water in the dough. Simply mix and cover, then leave to rise (often overnight in the fridge) before shaping into a loaf pan or as rolls and baking straightaway. Fresh bread for breakfast with minimal effort!
3. BATCH BAKE: Got a bread you love to bake? Make the most of having your oven on and make triple or even more than you usually would. Same length of time but much more bread - and you can freeze the extra loaves for later.
4. BAKE QUICK BREADS: Explore baking soda breads with different flavours or try out 2-ingredient flatbreads. Both breads are ready in minutes, perfect if you're strapped for time.
5. STOP THE RECIPE SEARCH: Finding bread recipes that actually work can take time - especially if you start looking online. Instead, join my membership The Bakehouse club and explore 30+ tried and tested bread recipes that you can bake along with me.

I started The Epsom Bakehouse in a period of big change.
I'd left a job. My confidence was low.
But I discovered a course that taught me to bake and sell bread from home.
It was a chance to do something completely new and share my love for baking.
Then I had the opportunity to teach my first bread making class - and I discovered I LOVED it.
Fast forward 10 years - I've gone from teaching in person to all my classes online (thanks 2020 lockdowns!).
I share bread making tips and recipes with people across the world.
And I've gained confidence teaching on camera too!
Now I run classes online from my kitchen.
Perhaps you'll join me to bake delicious fresh bread at home?
