Graduation Recipes

Below you can find some of  the graduation exam recipes from our Diploma in Nutrition and Digestibility of Bread — the culmination of everything our students learn about Baking as Lifestyle Medicine.

Each recipe personalises bread to support the real needs of a particular person, bringing together thoughtful fermentation, diverse fibres, flavour, and digestibility in a single loaf.

Our graduates share their recipes with the community so we can all bake them, taste them, and discuss them together, because bread has always been for sharing. This is BALM in action — and we hope these loaves inspire you to bake with intention and share with joy.
