BREAD BAKING CLASS: Immerse yourself in a private, 2-hour hands-on baking class where you’ll learn to master two delicious breads: sourdough and pretzels. Start by exploring the stages of bread-making, from mixing, stretching, and shaping to Dutch oven baking. While your sourdough bakes to perfection, you’ll dive into the art of pretzel-making, folding dough into classic salty and cinnamon-sugar twists.
Enjoy your freshly baked sourdough paired with sweet and savory compound butters and toppings like burrata with arugula or jalapeño cheddar. You’ll leave with a mason jar of sourdough starter, recipes, and care instructions to continue your bread-baking journey at home.
Relax and savor a couple of glasses of wine as you bake, learn, and enjoy this fun, interactive experience! This experience is a baking class and does not include a full meal.
