What It Is

e5 Bakehouse is a London artisan bakery founded in 2010 by Ben after he took a sourdough course at a school for handmade food. It is more than just a bakery; it is a community committed to ethical business, ecological sustainability, and “agricultural revival.” Its education arm offers a wide range of baking and craft courses, openly sharing the process of making healthy food with the public.

Core Dimensions

• Course Areas: Centered on sourdough, with offerings covering beginner and advanced sourdough bread, sourdough pizza, traditional and vegan pastries, fermentation techniques, and even Alpujarras baking retreats and basket-weaving workshops. The curriculum is rich, distinctive, and well structured.
• Teaching Format: Uses a dual model of “in-person + online courses.” In-person classes are held at the London bakery and emphasize hands-on experience, while the Online Bakery School removes geographic barriers.
• Instructor/Institution Background: Founder Ben has a professional artisan baking background. The organization places strong emphasis on organic ingredients, local sourcing, and ecological health, with instruction provided by a group of bakers who are passionate about sharing their knowledge.
• Teaching Language: English.
