How to Set Up A Micro Bakery

In this 2 day course, I will teach you how to start your own micro bakery from your home. I have been running a very successful bakery in this way, for the last 10 years and I have learnt so much along the way that I can share with you, and ensure your success.

Over the two days, we will do lots of baking and you will get all of the recipes and me for life! I will also teach you about the business side, the marketing, the equipment, the scaling up and the legalities. You will also receive a 12 part modular course to accompany the in person teaching. You will also have access to the Bread Angels network, the largest group of micro bakers in the UK who all have extensive bread experience.

If you are interested in taking this course, email me direct at mabakerbakes@gmail.com and I can work out dates that suit.

"Wow! Wow! Wow! Liz's approach is simply inspiring. After this small cosy class with Ma Baker, everything came together. Thanks to the fantastic tuition, I was able to make beautiful bread that I had struggled to achieve through books alone. A course with Ma Baker is sure to teach you new skills and importantly get you making great bakes from scratch."

We had a fantastic day at Ma Bakers. The session was full of information and the presentation was extremely professional. It was a fun and friendly atmosphere and all levels of skill were catered for. The hospitality was second to none and we were absolutely blown away by the whole experience. We would definitely recommend anyone to come and have a bread making experience at Ma Baker.

Really don't think words can explain what an unbelievable experience this is... from the offset you feel like you are at home.. everything is explained in easy terms, no question is a silly question. Gained so much knowledge that no book, no video or social media post could give you. So genuine so much passion and so much fun - definitely worth the 4 hour round trip... thank you Liz you have some very happy bakers this evening who are already considering what we can do with bread.

I attended the Ma Baker Introduction to Sourdough class with Liz. Previous reviews of attendees say it all. I highly recommend Liz as a superb teacher and baker because the class was so relaxed, fun, engaging and very; very enjoyable with wonderful products produced from our endeavours. The mythology around sourdough was busted early on and I learnt so much that I now have the confidence to bake this wonderful bread at home. You will be supported and very well looked after throughout with guidance during practical baking techniques.

Customer Reviews

"Thank you Liz for an amazing day in your new bakery space and for sharing all your bread knowledge and wisdom. I learnt so much about sourdough. I strongly recommend one of her classes – not only is she a superb teacher and host, you will walk away with fresh bread, recipes and top insider tips…"

Sam

“Learning with Liz makes you want to go home and start kneading straight away! She makes learning how to make bread fun and informative. You really get individual attention and she breaks down the process into easy to understand steps. We got to take our breads home much to the delight of a very appreciative husband, and I’ve now signed up to another of Liz’s classes. I can’t wait.”

Sian

“Thank you for a wonderful Introduction to Bread Making course. Your new bread school is a wonderful space, welcoming and relaxed. Liz shared her vast knowledge of bread making from the ‘chemistry’ through to tips and tricks to guarantee great bread. We made a number of delicious breads and as soon as I have mastered the basics, I’ll be back for more.”
