Edit section: King Arthur Baking School and The Bread Lab

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest was declined.

Current: The company offers in-person baking classes at its Norwich store and at Washington State University's Bread Lab in Burlington, Washington and also offers classes virtually. Both locations offer classes for home bakers of all skill levels and for professional bakers. As of 2020 the school's Baking Director was Amber Eisler. In 2018 King Arthur's Jeff Yankellow developed the Bread Lab's Approachable Loaf recipe for a commercially-produced loaf that is healthy and tasty and can be priced affordably. The bread is produced commercially by bakeries in multiple states and in several countries; King Arthur sells it in its retail store under the name Just Bread.

Bake for Good

Bake for Good is King Arthur Baking Company’s free outreach program for students in grades 4 through 12. The program has three goals: learn, bake, and share. Baking programs in the city and in schools inspire individuals, families, and businesses to spread the joy of baking and make positive social change through a single loaf of bread.
