A good choice for beginners who fancy getting a little more creative

This Italian Bread course is a great place to start building your knowledge. Even with very little previous experience you'll be making these stunning classics with ease. You'll understand exactly how to create the characteristic open texture of a ciabatta, and what makes it one of my favourite breads of all time.
