A step-by-step video guide to understanding how you can bake panettone with consistent results.
Hi, I'm Matthew James Duffy!
I am a dedicated teacher who loves inspiring people to learn the art of sourdough baking. I have spent over a decade in constant pursuit of knowledge to refine my skills, improve my technique and master my craft.
I graduated from the University of Guelph with a bachelor's degree in Hotel and Food Administration, and a culinary diploma from the Stratford Chef school. I am a Red Seal certified Chef and over the past 15 years, I've worked in some of the world's finest restaurants and hotels, as a chef with a passion for baking bread. After years of apprenticing with some of the best bakers in the field, I became a Baking Professor and the Baking and Pastry Arts Management Program Coordinator at a leading Canadian college. All while running a successful micro-bakery.
