We were guided step by step by Pedro, who answered all our questions and encouraged us from the very beginning to try the recipe at home without fearing failure. From understanding all the specificities of the bread-making process to tasting a warm, delicious loaf fresh out of the oven with butter, this experience was truly unforgettable. I left not only with a freshly baked loaf but also with a lot of new knowledge and the confidence to bake my own bread at home.
