What You'll Learn
In this workshop, you'll dive into the science of gluten-free bread baking, from understanding how gluten functions to mastering the ingredients and techniques that make our loaves rise, spring and taste amazing.
You'll work hands-on with our bread flour blend to mix, shape and score your own dough, and learn how long fermentation and proper hydration create structure and flavor. We'll walk you through home vs. commercial baking, Dutch oven techniques, and give you the confidence to bake professional-quality gluten-free bread in your own kitchen.

FAQ
Before you book.
How long is the workshop?
The workshop runs for 3 hours. Please arrive a few minutes early so we can start on time.
Is everything gluten-free?
Yes. We’re a 100% gluten-free bakery, and everything you make and eat during the workshop is safe for those with celiac disease or gluten intolerance.
What flours will we use?
You’ll bake with our bread flour blend, the same one we sell, so you can keep baking at home. We won’t be teaching how to make the flour mix from scratch.
Are other allergens present?
The bread you’ll make is vegan and made without nuts, but our kitchen uses nuts (including peanuts), sesame, dairy and eggs in other products. Let us know about any allergies when you book.
What do I take home?
- One loaf you scored and baked during the workshop
- One mixed and shaped loaf to bake fresh at home
- A reusable banneton proofing basket
- Printed step-by-step baking instructions
A freshly made gluten-free pizza lunch is included, and the class is BYOB.
Do I need baking experience?
No. The class works for complete beginners and home bakers who want to learn more.
Is it suitable for kids?
It’s designed for adults and teens 14 and up, because of the sharp tools, ovens and hands-on format.
Can I gift a spot?
Yes. Let us know in the notes at checkout and we’ll make it special.
What should I wear or bring?
Nothing to bring. Wear comfortable clothing, closed-toe shoes and something to cover your hair. We provide all tools, ingredients and supplies.
What is the cancellation policy?
Because classes are small and ingredients are prepared in advance, all bookings are final. Cancellations carry a 50% fee, and cancellations within 48 hours of the class are non-refundable. You’re welcome to give your spot to a friend; just tell us their name ahead of time.

Meet the bakers
Started by someone who needed this bakery to exist.
Evan was diagnosed with Celiac disease in his early 20s and spent years unable to find gluten-free bread that actually tasted like bread. He and his wife Salomé spent three years developing their own recipes before Dishon ever opened: first at farmers markets, then a commercial kitchen, now a storefront in Manchester.
