Learn to make delicious, buttery croissants for yourself, any time you fancy, at this laminated pastry baking workshop in Urmston.
There's something a little magical about pulling apart a warm croissant and watching all those paper-thin layers unfurl – and this hands-on morning shows you exactly how to get there, teaching you to make proper laminated pastry from scratch, right at home.
You'll mix your own dough and make your own butter block by hand, then work through the folds yourself, building up the layers step by step until lamination finally makes sense. You'll shape your own pastries too, leaving with a laminated dough block plus a batch of shaped croissants and pain au chocolat, ready to prove and bake whenever suits you.
Along the way, you'll bake and taste a few croissants together, with plenty of time for questions over tea, coffee, and pastries. No previous baking experience is needed, just an appetite for flaky, golden pastry – and with a small class of just five participants, you'll get plenty of one-to-one guidance drawn from years of hands-on croissant-making expertise.
Please note: this class runs from 10am to 1:30pm.
What you'll get
  • All ingredients.
  • Tea/coffee and pastries on arrival.
  • Your laminated dough block and shaped pastries to take home.
  • Comprehensive notes after the class with full instructions for proving and baking.

Flour & Soul started as a distraction in the 2020 lockdown. I should have probably enjoyed my maternity leave more, but being drunk on the smell of freshly fermented dough, I knew I wanted to do this every day.
Almost six years later, we have a wonderful business with deep community roots. We make slow fermented sourdough bread from locally grown (in Cheshire) stoneground flour, flaky croissants and pain au chocolat with Cumbrian butter and Grate Taste Award winner panettone.
I’ve learned everything on the job—from accounts and hygiene ratings to the logistics of delivering bread on a cargo bike.
Our classes are a chance to see where the magic happens in our workshop, enjoy some freshly baked pastries and learn a new skill in a fun environment.
