After training in pastry-making, he naturally turned to bakery: this contact with dough, leavening, fermentation &#8211; and all the infinite creative possibilities that this universe offers &#8211; immediately won him over. With a master&#8217;s degree, he also spent a significant period in Africa passing on French bread know-how &#8211; an experience that profoundly enriched his career and his vision of the profession. Returning to France in 2012, he settled in Bordeaux and became a bakery teacher at a vocational high school. This brought him into close contact with teaching &#8211; a role he embraces with conviction.      <\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:33px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:21% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"828\" height=\"861\" src=\"https:\/\/four-ephrem.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/fabrice-cottez.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18898 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/four-ephrem.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/fabrice-cottez.png 828w, https:\/\/four-ephrem.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/fabrice-cottez-577x600.png 577w, https:\/\/four-ephrem.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/fabrice-cottez-768x799.png 768w, https:\/\/four-ephrem.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/fabrice-cottez-300x312.png 300w, https:\/\/four-ephrem.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/fabrice-cottez-600x624.png 600w, https:\/\/four-ephrem.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/fabrice-cottez-289x300.png 289w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 828px) 100vw, 828px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2018, he launched his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/c\/BoulangeriePas%C3%A0pas\">YouTube channel Boulangerie pas \u00e0 pas<\/a> to share his techniques, gestures, recipes and advice, aimed at amateurs and professionals alike.
