Le Petit Paris Workshop
Baguette Tradition
Discover the craft behind authentic French baguettes in a hands-on bakery class focused on flavor, texture and tradition. Learn how fermentation, shaping, scoring and steam baking create a crisp crust and open crumb while making your own artisan baguettes to take home. The class is designed for small groups, with clear demonstrations, guided practice and artisan bakery tips you can reuse at home.
About This Workshop
This workshop teaches the craft behind one of France’s most iconic breads. Students compare a traditional baguette method with a slower Respectus Panis-style approach, learning how fermentation, hydration, shaping, scoring, and steam create the crust, crumb, flavor, and aroma of real artisan bread. The marketing strength is very high: baguette is universally recognized, easy to understand, and strongly connected to French identity.
