If your homemade bread turns out dense, gummy, flat, or pale, you’re not alone. In this bread baking troubleshooting class, you’ll learn how to identify and fix the most common bread problems.
Instead of guessing what went wrong, you’ll understand how fermentation, hydration, gluten development, and baking temperature affect your final loaf.
We’ll cover common bread baking issues including:
  • Bread that didn’t rise
  • Dense or tight crumb
  • Gummy interior texture
  • Overproofed or collapsed dough
  • Pale crust
  • Sticky or overly wet dough
This workshop is ideal for beginner to intermediate home bakers who want to improve their bread baking skills and stop wasting ingredients.
By the end of class, you’ll know how to diagnose your bread like a professional baker and make simple adjustments for better results every time.
Bring your bread questions and photos if you have them!

Founded by Emily Buckman, a baker and educator with over 12 years of professional experience, Breaducated invites students of all ages to explore baking not just as a skill, but as a living system; one shaped by chemistry, culture, and time. From fermentation and gluten development to the global history of grains, each class is designed to demystify baking while encouraging thoughtful experimentation.
Classes are welcoming, accessible, and rooted in the belief that learning should be collaborative and empowering. Whether you’re kneading dough for the first time or deepening an existing practice, Breaducated focuses on understanding the “why” behind the process so students leave with confidence, context, and tools they can use long after class ends.
Private lessons, small group workshops, and custom experiences are available for both adults and kids.
