11.04.2026 Baguette and Wheat Bread Baking Workshop 13:00-17:00

Wood-fired Oven Baguettes and Wheat Breads

In this course, Simon Wöckl demonstrates how to bake crispy baguettes with a wonderful crumb in a wood-fired oven. In 4 hours, participants will learn everything about the right ingredients and recipes, the production and care of sourdough, and how to properly proof baguette and wheat bread doughs. The products will be baked in various wood-fired ovens.

The Main Lecturer: Master Baker Simon Wöckl

Simon is a true professional who is not only a master baker, but also a nature-loving person who conducts his baking activities in a MODERN yet above all SUSTAINABLE and TRADITION-oriented manner. A master in handling ingredients and also in kneading doughs and pastries. He gained a lot of experience with different wood-fired oven variations on alpine pastures where he produced several tons of sourdough bread and pastries in various wood ovens, acquiring his knowledge from practical experience.

Course Specialty: Different Ovens

Heinz Hirtenlehner, stove builder and event organizer at LoderFire, is a fire fanatic and, after several joint courses with Simon, is already a well-coordinated team. The course is also aimed at those who already own a baking oven or are considering purchasing or even building one themselves. In Simon and LoderFire's courses, several types of ovens are always fired. Participants work with both DIRECT and INDIRECTLY FIRED ovens of heavy construction, as well as with state-of-the-art wood-fired pizza ovens and bread ovens from Fontana Forni. Everyone decides for themselves where they prepare their baked goods, and of course, there will be an ongoing exchange of experience on different firing methods.

Kill several birds with one stone!

The professional baker and the oven builder will share their expertise with the participants, and we will always be supplied with good baked goods, food, and drinks. To conclude, there will be a "Bratl" (roasted meat), "Surstelz'n" (cured pork hock), and fresh, homemade bread from the wood-fired oven. All self-baked breads and pastries will be taken home, while the baked goods prepared by the workshop instructors will be tasted during the course or taken home by the visitors.
