Class Description:
Kolaches are a beloved Czech pastry that make any morning brighter! In this hands-on baking class, you'll learn how to make an enriched yeasted dough from scratch and prepare both sweet and savory fillings for these pillowy handheld treats. Your guide is Executive Pastry Chef Catie Wiley, who joins us after a distinguished career as a pastry chef at several iconic patisseries and restaurants on the East Coast.

We'll start by combining basic ingredients like flour, yeast, eggs, butter and milk to form a soft, pliable dough. As you learn the proper techniques for kneading and proofing, this dough will transform into the perfect base for your kolache creations. For your sweet filling, you'll prepare cream cheese with fresh berries or fruit preserves. This creamy custard is a perfect pairing for the dough's subtle sweetness.

On the savory side, you'll make a flavorful filling of tangy goat cheese and caramelized onions with fresh herbs. These work as both a breakfast and lunch option. Once the dough rises, you'll learn how to properly stuff, shape and proof the kolaches before baking them to golden, puffy perfection. Straight from the oven, their fresh-baked aroma is simply irresistible.

By the end of the class, you'll take home a variety of sweet and savory kolaches to share, along with the recipes and skills to keep baking up these tasty treasures. With a plush, yeasted dough and your choice of fillings, kolaches make any day delightfully delicious.
