The Bread Ahead story
Matthew began his working life as a chef, fortunate to work with some of the UK's finest culinary talents, before being drawn to patisserie and bread making — which has shaped the past 25 years of his career as a baker.
In 2013 he opened the bakery at Borough Market, producing breads 7 days a week. Everything at Bread Ahead is developed with the same artisanal approach: nothing artificial, ingredients front and centre.
Bread Ahead Education — the first school opened in 2014. What started with one table in the Borough bakery has grown to six classrooms in three locations across London, Jeddah and Riyadh, with over 30 workshops from half‑day croissant classes to a three‑day complete sourdough course.
