Artisan Bread Baking in Montes de Málaga with Chef Lynsey | Cooking Class | Workshop

On a private working farm in the Montes de Málaga countryside near Colmenar, Andalucía, Spain, the Málaga Bread Making Experience turns ordinary afternoon light into the kind of hands‑on food education that stays with you. Host-chef Lynsey guides small groups through four hours of practical baking: artisan focaccia, a vegetable soda loaf, and a pliable flatbread, each taught with clear methods and pantry-friendly ingredients. The day begins with a welcoming coffee, fresh juice, and local sweet treats, then moves to a rustic kitchen where dough becomes lesson and landscape — mountain views visible from the windows — becomes a calming backdrop. This is a class for people who want to learn breadcraft, not just watch it. Instruction covers mixing techniques, shaping, and stove-to-wood-fire thinking adapted to a home kitchen. All equipment and ingredients are provided, and the private group format (up to 6) keeps the pace relaxed and personal. After the oven work you’ll sit down to a light alfresco lunch or beside a fire, an intentionally slow sobremesa where conversation is part of the curriculum. Before you leave you’ll pack recipes and loaves to bake at home. What makes this experience distinct in Málaga is its rural setting within the Montes de Málaga foothills. The simple, seasonal ingredients reflect local tastes and the slow culinary rhythms of Andalucía; the casual outdoor meal frames bread as both sustenance and social glue. For travelers, the class offers a low‑stress way to connect with regional foodways without long drives or market logistics — the farm provides the setting and supplies. Note that transportation to the farm is not included; final meeting details are supplied after booking. Practical details: the experience lasts roughly four hours, suits small parties (2–6), and is ideal for home cooks, food lovers, couples, and friends. Expect hands‑on kneading, oven management, and time to cool and package your own loaves. Bring curiosity more than specialized gear. Why book it? Beyond learning techniques, this is a moment of place — the kind of rural, ingredient-driven class that changes the way you think about daily bread. Whether you want to perfect focaccia texture or master quick flatbreads, the Málaga Bread Making Experience offers clear methods, convivial company, and recipes you can actually use. Meeting point information and farm location are provided after booking; address on file: Solano, 20, Solano, 29170 Colmenar, Málaga, Spain. Prices vary by group size—2 people from €167 per person, 3–4 people from €129, and larger groups from €114 per person—making this accessible for couples or small friend groups. The host keeps groups intimate so you get hands-on time. Reservations are required; book via the provided referral link and expect a follow-up with precise arrival and parking instructions.
