The San Francisco Baking Institute provides students with an invaluable hands-on education.
We offer a variety of bread, viennoiserie and pastry courses: 5 day workshops and 1-2 day workshops.
For all of our courses (both 5 day and 1 -2 day), we provide aprons, towels, notebooks with the course materials, and the kitchen is stocked with all the tools necessary for the class. You do not need to bring equipment with you. You only need to bring yourself.
Benefits Include:
Hands-on Training:
Our curriculum provides an exceptionally high level of hands-on practice and instruction. This helps our students master concepts and techniques instead of learning them temporarily.
Individual Attention:
We commit to small class sizes, with a maximum 16 students. This allows for an abundance of one-on-one instruction.
Advanced Equipment:
Our spacious classrooms and technologically-advanced equipment create an environment that is similar to a typical modern bakery, easing the transition from the classroom to a professional environment. Our instructors help students learn how to adapt to formulas for home and commercial kitchen settings.
Intensive Learning:
Our students train a full day, rather than half-day which allow them to gain greater expertise with less time away from work.
Real-World Scale:
Our program design and the scale of our facility enable students to bake in high volume, developing valuable and hard-to-find production skills.
Our students include professional bakers and baking instructors seeking to master the latest methods and trends, home bakers desiring to hone their knowledge and craft, bakery owners aspiring to sell high-quality artisan baked goods, and beginning bakers studying to enter the industry.
Fulfill your dream of becoming a professional baker or strengthen and refine your current baking skills in our continuing education classes. Our talented instructors are committed to providing you with the knowledge and inspiration you need to master the art of bread and pastry.
