Artisan Bread for Beginners

This short course focuses on artisan-style bread made with instant yeast in a home kitchen. Dragan Matijevic compares shorter and longer fermentation approaches through a small set of projects, including focaccia. It is a useful first comparison with sourdough courses when you want to learn dough behavior without first maintaining a starter.

What you will learn

• Measure ingredients consistently for a bread dough.
• Compare short and long fermentation schedules.
• Shape and bake a simple artisan-style loaf.

Who this suits

The course is intended for beginners. Check its equipment list, including a home oven, accurate scale and tools for monitoring the dough and bake.

Before you enroll

The video runtime excludes fermentation and baking time. Choose a schedule you can observe consistently; room temperature and flour differences may change how quickly dough develops.

Udemy offers this as a paid course; available purchase and subscription options vary. Check the curriculum, previews and checkout terms before enrolling. A completion certificate is not an accredited qualification.

Put it into practice

Bake the same recipe using two of the taught schedules. Record dough temperature, proofing observations and the final crumb so the comparison goes beyond appearance.
