Few things beat the smell of freshly baked, buttery croissants coming out of the oven.

Our Croissant Making Workshop is a full hands-on day where you’ll learn the fundamentals of classic laminated pastry and discover what goes into creating beautiful, flaky croissants from scratch.

You’ll work through the process under the guidance of one of our experienced Crust & Crumb team members, learning how to prepare and laminate your dough, incorporate the butter, roll, shape, proof and bake your croissants.

By the end of the workshop, you’ll have a much better understanding of laminated pastry and the confidence to tackle croissants at home.

There’s something special about turning just flour, water and salt into beautiful, naturally fermented bread.

Our Sourdough Essentials Workshop is a full hands-on day dedicated to helping you understand sourdough and giving you the confidence to bake it successfully at home.

You’ll mix, ferment, shape and bake your own breads while learning the fundamentals that really matter, from looking after your starter to understanding fermentation, dough development and getting a great bake.

And you won’t leave empty-handed! You’ll take home the breads you’ve made, comprehensive course notes, your sourdough recipe, and some of our 13-year-old Crust & Crumb sourdough culture to keep you baking.

From blank canvas to baked loaf.

Scoring is one of our favourite parts of the sourdough process. A few carefully placed cuts can completely change the character of a loaf, and there’s plenty of room to get creative.

In our hands-on Sourdough Essentials class, everyone gets the chance to score and personalise their own loaves before they head into the oven.

The best part is seeing those designs come to life during the bake.

No two loaves are quite the same, and that’s exactly how we like it.

Learn the process from mixing and fermentation through to shaping, scoring and baking in our Sourdough Essentials classes in Cape Town and Johannesburg.

Learn the art of proper lamination.

Those open, honeycomb layers come from keeping the butter and dough distinct through the rolling and folding process, then giving the croissants the right fermentation before baking.

Get the lamination right and the result is light, crisp and beautifully layered rather than dense and bready.

Want to learn the process properly? We cover it from start to finish in our hands-on Croissant Making Class in Cape Town and Johannesburg.

We love our baguettes bold, blistered and properly crunchy.

A deep bake brings out more flavour, a crispier crust and that unmistakable crackle when you break into it.

No pale baguettes around here.
