Dan's Focaccia and Ciabatta Breadsticks

Join the brilliant Dan Beasley Harling (GBBO, series 9) live from London who will teach you his Focaccia and Ciabarra Breadsticks. In this 2 hour class you’ll gain confidence handling high hydration doughs, and learn how to make two classic Italian breads. Firstly, a delicious fast focaccia, studded with roasted garlic, caramelised onions, tomatoes and rosemary. And in between proves, we’ll also find time to make some delicious feta and olive ciabatta breadsticks, and a refreshing tzatziki dip. Come hungry!

The class starts at 8pm UK on Saturday 13th November 2021 and all you need is access to Zoom via a computer, an iPad or a phone and you'll be connected! The class will take around 2hours.

We’ll start off the class with an introductory welcome and some background from Dan's time on TV, before we ask you to put on your aprons & bake along as you watch Dan demonstrate all the skills required to make this favourite treat. Our class will take around 2 hours as we bake our masterpieces, before you can tuck into the fruits of your labour all whilst hearing fantastic memories and stories from Dan.
