Bread School - Hints tips suggestions!!

Various leavened breadsImage via WikipediaBelow are some initial questions about the possibility of forming a bread school.  I have had several people ask me for "lessons" on baking bread.  I have not determined what that will look like yet (let alone any kind of pricing or format)  So, I am just interested in your ideas or suggestions based on the following questions:


  1. Would you be interested in a class on learning to make bread the old fashioned way BY HAND (no cheeky bread machines)

 your thoughts on:

  1. More scientific based class (a.k.a Alton Brown Style)
  2. Just cover the techniques/basics needed, provide some practice.
  3. Single nite class or
  4. Multiples nites focusing on the parts that are important (maybe flour one nite, kneading technique, baking/crusts, forming) that type of thing
  5. Classroom style class or informal?
  6. Hosted in your home alone or with others?
  7. Availability of tools/accessories to order for your own use (think pampered chef but with a direct focus on bread)
  8. Types of bread your interested in.  Just sandwich breads, rolls/buns, sourdoughs etc)
  9. If you considered taking this type of class what would you be looking to get out of it?
  10. How many of your friends would be interested you think?
