Class Description:
Is the thought of gluten-free baking leaving you feeling deprived? Worried your favorite treats will be dry, dense, and disappointingly lacking in flavor? Fear not! Longtime instructor and Chef Laura Thomsen is here to ease your worries with her popular gluten-free class, where you'll learn the tips, tricks, and techniques to create dishes that are every bit as delicious and satisfying as their gluten-filled counterparts.

In this informative afternoon class, we’ll explore what gluten-free flours work best to replace regular all-purpose flour in favorite recipes as well as best practices for cooking and baking techniques.

We’re getting a sweet start to our afternoon with Gluten Free Pecan Cake. Pecans will be our base flour for this dessert that is topped with fluffy whipped cream, and seasonal berries. Next up, let’s get frying! You'll be making crispy, gluten-free Pan-Fried Chicken that stays perfectly moist on the inside with a golden-brown crunch. We’re pairing it with oven-roasted potatoes and broccoli for a nutritious and flavor-packed meal.

Moving onto our breads: we’re starting with a Gluten-Free Flatbread that is a combination of sunflower, sesame, pumpkin, and flax seeds for a hearty crunch. Next, Chef Laura is sending you home with ready-to-bake gluten-free dough with a variety of mix ins: gluten-free oats, sunflower seeds, walnuts, and sesame seeds. For a versatile spread that can accompany your breads, you'll whip up a creamy Savory Cheese Blend of cheddar and cream cheese, onion, herbs, and just a dash of hot sauce for a kick. This creamy concoction is perfect for slathering over that warm bread straight from the oven. As we wrap up, we’ll end on a sweet note with a classic Fruit Crumble with your choice of apples, cherries, or blueberries baked with a crisp, golden topping.

Whether you follow a gluten-free diet or cook for someone with dietary restrictions, this class will provide a world of new tasty possibilities for you ranging from sweet and savory and all gluten-free!
