    Welcome to the Modernist Bread School—a supportive addition to the release of Modernist Bread at Home! We are thrilled to present you with free bread-making courses delivered straight to your inbox.

    Our bread school features a variety of free courses that will take you through a range of topics and top-recommended tips for creating delicious home-baked loaves. These courses are carefully designed to complement our latest cookbook, Modernist Bread at Home, assisting both novice bakers and those looking to refine their skills. Don’t have Modernist Bread at Home yet? No worries. You will still be able to follow along even if you don’t have the book.

    HOW IT WORKS

    First, choose from our many different classes—we will launch a new class each month. Depending on availability, you can start from the beginning or skip ahead—it’s up to you!

    Upon signing up, you’ll receive one lesson per day throughout the course, typically consisting of five to seven lessons. Each course will include recommended tips and tricks, scientific insights, and discoveries that we made during our extensive bread research.


    Anyone else fans of modernist cuisine? Is sous vide and related cooking methods game changer or overrated? Did y'all make sour dough during the pandemic ? Any bread nuts, esp folks who got the tomes or considered it, want to weight in on the MC bread methods?

      Fuck yeah! I have Modernist Cuisine at Home and Modernist Pizza and now, I will have Modernist Bread at Home tomorrow! I've really enjoyed the recipes.

      Separately, I really love using my sous vide. I have two and we have three total in the house. Modernist Cuisine has some really neat sous vide recipes, too, e.g., sous vide eggs with a totally unique consistency that you could never get otherwise.

      I've taken a handful of bread making classes at a local bakery through a local college's continuing education program and I have a Fourneau even though I admit it's basically just an easy-to-use dutch oven (also, it has almost doubled in price since I bought it, which is absurd).

      Anyway, suffice to say I'm excited.

      Although now I'm thinking maybe I should have just taken the plunge and bought the full version because my favorite part of Modernist Pizza is actually the history book.

          Amazon. Just open it up wherever you want and get started. Recommended place is to start on page 1 but you can jump around if you want. With the at Home versions, the beginning sections may inform the later sections. The full versions do too, but they also assume more knowledge, skill, and equipment.

        Did you sign up for the bread emails? I would love to hear your thoughts on them compared to the book content

          I did. I'd love to give you more info once I can make a comparison, but honestly, I'll most likely procrastinate on it forever. Just being honest about myself lol
