What is Breaducated?
At Breaducated, we champion hands-on, engaging, and delicious learning experiences. Founded by Emily Buckman, our program uniquely intertwines science, history, and anthropology through bread baking. Initially designed as an after-school initiative to boost confidence in underserved students, Breaducated has expanded to offer private, recreational, and community lessons for all ages. Every private lesson contributes to community educational projects, with 15% of fees supporting after-school programs and engagement initiatives.
Whether you're a student exploring the science of fermentation, a family diving into cultural baking traditions, or a community group looking for a fun and educational experience, we provide interactive workshops that make learning tangible—one loaf at a time.
By kneading, shaping, and baking their own bread, our students connect with cultures, traditions, and scientific principles in a way that’s fun, accessible, and deeply rewarding.
At Breaducated, we’re not just baking bread—we’re learning against the grain.
