Modern Bread and Viennoiserie

May 9, 2022 @ 7:30 am - May 13, 2022 @ 3:30 pm

This is a brand new course designed by our guest instructor, Thomas Teffri-Chambelland.

The focus of this course is to understand the balance and ecology of microorganisms in naturally leavened bread and viennoiserie products. Students will first learn the theory in lecture, then they will apply those theories in relation to the production of bread and viennoiserie.

Main topics covered in the lecture are the following: influence of pH over the ecology of microorganisms such as yeast, bacteria and enzyme in sourdough, importance of pH in naturally leavened rye bread, theory on naturally leavened viennoiserie, and achieving efficiency in a bakery production. The hands-on portion includes simple sourdough leavened with different styles of levain to monitor differences in dough activity and the final product characteristics, various styles of rye bread, panettone, croissant, brioche and kouglof.

SFBI welcomes our guest instructor Thomas Teffri-Chambelland for this course. Thomas is the founder and the director of L’école International de Boulangerie (EIDB), a world-renowned baking school located in Provence, France. Thomas has a master’s degree in biology and he has an extensive knowledge in the biological and biochemical aspects of sourdough fermentation. His most recent publication, Panettone et Viennoiserie au Levain, focuses on natural fermentation in viennoiserie products.

This is an advanced course for experienced bakers. Please note that this class has more lecture time and demonstrations than SFBI’s other workshops. Final products made during the class are evaluated as a group to compare the results.
