Understand yeast and chemical leavening while baking milk bread, muffins and scones.
fromUSD 250per person
This pastry class in New York is the leavening session of a five-part pastry certificate series, and can also be booked on its own. It explains how breads and pastries rise. It takes place in the teaching kitchen of a family-run cake and baking supply business, founded in 1991, whose Manhattan flagship on West 22nd Street also houses a café and shop.
You bake and taste milk bread shaped as Parker House rolls and cinnamon buns, plus muffins and scones, finishing them with simple glazes.
The four-hour class explores lean, enriched and quick breads, fermentation, working with commercial yeast and the difference between yeast and chemical leaveners, along with shaping techniques. All ingredients and supplies are included. Wear casual clothes you don't mind getting sugar on and flat closed-toe shoes, and tie back long hair.
Keen home bakers who want to understand the why behind their bakes. Every class is hands-on and interactive, so expect to be busy at the counter; please tell the team about any allergies or dietary needs before the class starts.
Soft milk bread shaped two ways (cinnamon buns and Parker House rolls), plus scones and muffins finished with glazes.
