SUMMARY:Cottage Baking: Building a Home-Based Baking Business
DESCRIPTION:Prerequisite: None. Please note that there will be some bread production. \nCourse Description: \nTurn your passion for baking into a thriving home-based business with this comprehensive cottage bread baking class! This 2-day course is co-led by Bonnie Ohara of Alchemy Bread\, a pioneer in the cottage baking industry\, along with Theo Dolarian\, SFBI’s baking instructor. Designed for aspiring entrepreneurs\, hobbyist bakers\, and side-hustlers\, this course prepares you to start and operate a successful cottage bakery operation from your own kitchen. The hands-on production includes ciabatta rolls\, demi baguettes\, and country sourdough to show different approaches to create an efficient production schedule to maximize your space and equipment. We will also demonstrate baking in a compact electric bread oven\, a common style of oven that is used in many micro-bakeries. \nStudents will learn: \n\nThe basics of cottage food laws and regulations\n\nPLEASE NOTE: Cottage food laws and regulations can vary based on location. The instructor can speak to their own experiences for the specific region they are in but students will be asked to do a bit of research prior to the course start to help inform their questions for the class.\n\n\nBusiness planning\nPricing\, branding\, and marketing strategies\nHow to build a production schedule\nScaling formulas\, adapting to seasonal temperature fluctuations\nTips for managing orders\, deliveries\, and customer relationships\nPractical no nonsense advice for working with a small footprint\n\nHomework before class start: \nSince the cottage applications differ\, students will be asked to look up and fill out their own local cottage bakery permit to bring to class to help inform their questions. More information about the homework will be sent out about 1 month prior to the class. \nFor more information on the class including class schedule and table of contents\, email us at: customerservice@sfbi.com. \nInstructor Bio:\nBonnie Ohara is a cottage bakery owner\, cookbook author\, and baking educator. With a background in English and literature\, she has written about baking\, community\, and homeschooling her 3 kids for diverse publications including Bread Baker’s Guild Magazine and Parents magazine. Her first book\, Bread Baking for Beginners\, was a bestseller upon publication in 2018\, and became a key resource for hundreds of thousands of people who learned to bake their first loaf in 2020 during the pandemic. Her second book\, Let’s Bake Bread\, for Artisan Books arrived in 2023. Nominated for an IACP award\, it includes insights into baking with your family while learning  hands-on knowledge\, history\, and science of baking bread. \nBonnie has taught local new bakers through in-person classes at her bakery\, groups of travelers during baking and cooking retreats across the country\, and thousands more both via online digital courses on her own site and through live online class collaborations with Christopher Kimball’s Milk Street. She has also lent expertise to high school culinary programs with in person and digital instruction support. \nBonnie has long been a proponent of milling in house to support local farmers\, and a guest teacher focusing on whole grains at the California Wheat Lab. Bonnie’s involvement with local farms and community has had a positive impact\, recruiting local farmers to grow drought tolerant and sustainable varieties of wheat and investing above market rate for grains grown locally. \nBonnie instructs with an approachable and friendly\, heartfelt enthusiasm. She runs her bakery\, Alchemy Bread\, in the Central Valley of California with a heart for a good story. She shares rich knowledge gained by supporting her family and local community with her sourdough bread for over a decade. \nCheck-in\nIf you have any concerns or questions before traveling to SFBI\, email us at: customerservice@sfbi.com we want to make sure you have the best experience while learning here.

SUMMARY:Series IV: Training Series Capstone
DESCRIPTION:Prerequisite\n\n2026 Series I-III: This class is best suited as the bookend to the 7-week Training Series as it is more of a culmination of the concepts learned in the weeks prior.\n\nCourse Description\nOne important topic explained in this 5-day class is how to create a production schedule for yeasted bread\, sourdough and viennoiserie items. This is a crucial concept to understand to minimize food and labor costs\, and to achieve an efficient bakery operation. Students will work in groups during the hands-on production time to construct their own production schedule depending on the product types and quantities. The production schedule will be based on essential items at bakeries such as country bread\, baguettes\, ciabatta\, croissants\, cookies\, scones\, and muffins. Students will produce the above items in a practical exam as if to operate an actual bakery production in the last few days of this series. We will have a conversation with bakery owners in the first half of this series. This is a great opportunity to learn the ins and outs of opening and operating a bakery. \nGet the Information Packet here! \nInterested?
