✨Series V: EIDB Collaboration

Hard to believe that the maiden voyage of this collaboration between @sfbakinginstitute and @ecoleinternationaleboulangerie ended a few weeks ago!

It’s tough to sum it all up in this 40 sec video—the bread, the bakeries, the restaurants, the tour of Moulin Pichard, the sights, etc. The best I can say is that it was the experience of a lifetime baking and chatting alongside some truly talented and passionate bakers and artisans from all over the world. Thank you to the SFBI students for joining us on this journey!!

As we close in our the final week of @thomas_teffri_chambelland here at SFBI, I want to say an immense thank you. Thank you to the staff @ecoleinternationaleboulangerie, @borisbrimbeuf , @theovoboulanger , @stephanievastel and the administrative team for helping coordinate. Thank you to the hotels, restaurants, Stephane of Moulin Pichard, Henri de Pazzis of @terre.et.ble, @lafabriqueapainaix and all the bakers along the way. Finally, a huge thank you to Thomas!! Your generosity to share your passion and philosophies for bread baking won’t soon be forgotten. It was truly unbelievable.✨

Series IV: Bakery Business Essentials ✅

Last week our Training Series bakers were thrown into planning mode for their Thursday/Friday practical exams. They collaborated on building out production schedules comprised of the products and skills they’ve learned during their time with us.

We also had some special speakers come by and offer their insight of the baking industry with an emphasis on why community and valuing your employees matters. Thank you Michel and our guest speaker @joseybakerbread for being so generous with your time!

Thank you to the students who were with us for 7 weeks! While the core Training Series has ended, this week some have joined us for a study abroad @ecoleinternationaleboulangerie! Stay tuned ✨
