Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this pastry class:

Uncover the secrets of leavening agents in bread and pastry making. Explore three common categories of bread: Lean Breads, Enriched Breads, and Quick Breads, each with its own unique characteristics. Learn proper fermentation techniques, how to work with commercial yeast, and the differences between leavening through yeast versus chemical leaveners. Discover various shaping types and techniques to elevate your bread making. Master the art of making simple glazes to add the perfect finishing touch to your creations.

Join us for a hands-on experience as we bake and taste a variety of treats, including Milk Bread (featuring Parker House Rolls and Cinnamon Buns), Muffins, and Scones, and gain a deeper understanding of the role leavening plays in baking!
