BREAD BAKING WORKSHOP

BREAD THERAPY
“The autumn leaves are beginning to turn and the days are becoming cooler.
And what’s better on chilly autumn days than fresh baked bread from the oven!
In this class, we’ll make one of my go-to favorites, Honey Oatmeal Bread,
and who can resist a warm soft pretzel (we’ll be making two, a savory and
a sweet version with delicious dipping sauce), plus we’ll elevate classic
banana bread with sugar crust baked bananas. See you in the kitchen
for a fun-filled day of bread baking.” – Chef Vincent

“This is one of my favorite go-to breads”– Chef Vincent

THE ULTIMATE BANANA BREAD
– yeah I know, you’re reading this and thinking why would I take a
cooking class to make banana bread, because you have never had
banana bread like this, we’re taking a classic to an entirely new level!,
we’ll start by baking the bananas in a sugar crust bringing out optimum
flavor and caramel yumminess, finished with a drizzle of
vanilla bean glaze and sprinkled with toasted pecans

SUGAR ROASTED BANANA
– we’ll bake bananas under a sugar crust,
then use a mallet to crack open!

PEPPERONI ASIAGO SOFT PRETZELS
– homemade soft pretzel dough with pepperoni,
topped with shredded asiago cheese, hand shaped in the
iconic pretzel twist, poached in a baking soda bath which
give pretzels their traditional flavor, mahogany brown
exterior and soft chewy interior, then oven baked

SOFT PRETZELS with BROWN SUGAR CINNAMON
– homemade soft pretzel dough hand formed into the
classic pretzel knot, poached in a baking soda bath,
topped with a brown sugar cinnamon crunch, oven baked
and served with a vanilla bean frosting dipping sauce

“Bread making is one of those almost hypnotic businesses like a dance
from some ancient ceremony. It leaves you filled with one of the worlds
sweetest smells…there is no chiropractic treatment, no Yoga exercise, no
hour of meditation in a music-throbbing chapel that will leave you emptier
of bad thoughts than this homely ceremony of making bread.”
