Attending Roy’s masterclass was a reminder that the moment we think we’ve “learned it all,” we stop growing.
Panettone is truly a craft of patience, precision, and passion. Being able to refine my skills with one of my biggest inspirations made this experience even more meaningful.
The best teachers never stop learning!
😇 Always Upskilling. Always Improving.

Making panettone isn’t just baking ✅ it’s a test of patience, precision, and heart ❤️
Whether you’re baking one at home or hundreds for the holidays, we all face the same fears:
❌Will it rise?
❌ Will it collapse?
❌ Did I overmix?
❌ Is my starter strong enough?
Here’s the real behind-the-scenes of what it takes to make this legendary bread… and why it’s always worth it.

Hi, Chef Ben here 👋🏼
Welcome to my Bread World 🍞🥖🥐🥯🥨
My hands spend most of their time shaping Sourdough, Croissant, Baguette, Panettone & all sorts of breads.
Over the years, bread has become my greatest teacher — showing me discipline, humility & the joy of slow, honest craft.
Every loaf reminds me of life’s lessons — consistency, care & the courage to rise again.
Sometimes, it’s nice to be soft.
Sometimes, it’s better to be hard & crunchy.
Follow your heart, as always.
I want to continue making bread until forever! ❤️🔥
If you want to get started on this baking journey as a Home-baker, I will be able to guide & support you 100%.

🥐 Hand rolling croissant dough is one of the most challenging tasks for homebakers without a machine at home. I started making croissants 5 years ago from home. Consistently failed.
It is a combination of physical and mental strength:
💪 Physical: Imagine a hand workout for 2-4 hours
🧠 Mental: All kinds of doubts for 5-7 hours until they are fully baked and edible.
What I learnt after 5 years:
✅ Recipe for the dough is important. A combination of flour that gives you both strength and extensibility.
✅ Technique in kneading the dough is important.
✅ Temperature control is important. An aircond in the room can be your best mate but not the only option. Ice packs are life saving!
✅ Choice of butter for lamination, go for French butter because of higher melting point. Unsalted or Salted is up to you.
✅ Croissant lamination is a true test of patience. Impatient bakers have 100% failure rate to achieve honey comb structure. Rushing to roll out the dough will result in tearing of the dough or melted butter absorbed into the dough, which end up like brioche instead of croissant.
🏆 Every time my students share pictures of their hand rolled croissant, I feel happy for them. Because they don't have to go through years of disappointment. I'm always there to support my students even after the class. That's my life purpose; to empower hobby & home bakers. 🤩

❌ Success is NEVER overnight.
💡 Think about it: in the alphabet, before S (Success) comes R.
👨🏻🍳 As a Chef/Baker, these “R’s” have shaped my journey over the years:
✅ Review – my process, recipes, baking temps & timing etc 🧘🏻♂️
✅ Relearn - always be curious, study new methods and learn from others 🌱
✅ Restructure – adjust the plan for the next bake ✍🏻
✅ Recharge – because great bread starts with good rest 😴
✅ Result – celebrate wins, big or small 🎉
✅ Redeem – own the outcome, whether good or bad 🫂
✅ Repeat – consistency is everything 🔁
And the 8th “R”…
✅ RESERVED – save your spot in my upcoming workshop to learn foolproof sourdough & festive Christmas panettone with a simple & organized workflow. (Savoury Panettone too 😉)
