Croissants, danishes, kouign amann, oh my! These buttery, flaky, mouthwatering gems of your local bakery's case are within your reach as a home baker! To fully delve into lamination, the technique that creates the flaky layers that define these pastries, we invite you to a two day workshop with Jennifer, our resident baking instructor. On the first day, you will work in teams to learn how to laminate a yeasted dough and allow your dough to rest overnight. Return on Tuesday, revisit your doughs, and transform it down three pathways: making kouign amann, a Breton treat with a crunchy caramel crusts, making croissants, both classic and filled, and making danishes, shaping and filling them to make variations. You will walk out of our classroom with the knowledge and confidence to make these treats out of your own home, and a tummy full of sweet treats as proof!
