WFPB Cooking: Gluten-Free Bread Baking for Beginners

Discover the joy of baking fresh, wholesome bread that’s not only gluten-free but also oil-free and fully whole food, plant-based (WFPB). This course is designed for the home cook who wants to move beyond store-bought options and create bread that’s both nourishing and satisfying. With Chef Del Sroufe as your guide, you’ll learn how to bake using simple, natural ingredients with no gums, no oils, and no refined flour. You’ll explore the power of whole grains and plant-based binders to build structure, flavor, and texture in every loaf. Whether you’re brand new to bread baking or simply looking to expand your gluten-free skills, this hands-on class is built to support your success. You'll gain a clear understanding of gluten-free doughs, how to work with them confidently, and how to avoid common mistakes, all in real time alongside Chef Del. By the end of the session, you'll have the techniques, recipes, and inspiration to bake your own delicious, healthy bread from scratch, right at home.
