Workshop Overview
Join us for an immersive three-day baking workshop designed to hone your skills and deepen your understanding of the baking process. Perfect for beginners and enthusiasts alike, this hands-on experience will cover essential baking concepts and techniques, allowing you to create delicious and impressive baked goods from scratch at home. We will then build on those essential concepts and techniques over the three day class to create baked breads, cookies, and pies that will look and taste amazing.

• Core Concepts: Learn the foundations of baking, including accurate weights and measurements, the baker's percentage, ingredient identification and functions.
• Creations: Over three days, you will bake and assemble a range of recipes, including plated desserts, quick breads, yeasted breads, cookies, dessert bars, and a whole pie with garnishes.

Day 1: The Art of Bread Making - Begin the workshop with a deep dive into breadmaking fundamentals. You’ll mix and shape baguette dough to craft an assortment of rolls, including:

• Rustic rolls
• Yeasted garlic knots
• Cornbread muffins (quickbread)

Day 2: Cookies and Cream - Build on your foundational skills by exploring cookies and dessert bars:

• Learn the “creaming method” and bake perfectly soft and chewy snickerdoodle cookies.
• Make rich, buttery blondie bars.
• Assemble a classic cream pie with a graham cracker crust, balancing textures and flavors.

Day 3: Elevated Desserts and Garnishes - Finish strong and build on everything you've learned by creating an elevated plated dessert and mastering the art of garnishes:

• Choose between crafting a luscious banana cream pie or a zesty lemon cream pie.
• Prepare decadent caramel and strawberry sauces.
• Create garnishes like banana chips and strawberry chips for an added flair.
• Bake delicate oatmeal lace cookies to complement your dessert.

By the end of this workshop, you’ll have a solid foundation in baking techniques, recipes to impress, and the confidence to experiment and create your own masterpieces. You will also learn next-level skills that you can incorporate seamlessly into your at-home baking repertoire. Don’t miss this opportunity to turn your love for baking into a lifelong skill!
