Join us for an immersive, hands-on baking class designed for bread lovers and aspiring bakers! This interactive session is perfect whether you’re a kitchen novice or a seasoned home baker looking to refine your skills. You’ll leave with new techniques, freshly baked bread, and a belly full of delicious Italian flavors.

🔹 Part 1: Brioche Demonstration – Buttery & Rich

Start the class with a demonstration of classic French Brioche. Watch as your instructor, Chef Liz, guides you through the process of making this luxurious, egg-rich dough — from mixing and proofing, to shaping and baking. You’ll learn:

• The science behind enriched doughs

• How to incorporate butter properly for the perfect texture

• Tips for shaping brioche rolls and loaves

You’ll sample freshly baked brioche served with a variety of spreads while learning how this elegant bread can be adapted for sweet or savory dishes.

🔹 Part 2: Make-Your-Own Ciabatta – Rustic & Chewy

Next, roll up your sleeves and get hands-on with authentic Ciabatta dough. You’ll mix, stretch, and fold your own high-hydration dough under expert guidance, learning:

• Proper hydration levels and fermentation timing

• The stretch-and-fold technique to develop gluten without kneading

• How to shape and bake Ciabatta for that signature airy crumb and crispy crust

You’ll take home your very own loaf (and the skills to recreate it again and again).

🔹 Part 3: Build Your Own Italian Sandwich – Fresh, Flavorful & Filling

To wrap up the class, you’ll slice your freshly baked Ciabatta and build a gourmet Italian sandwich using:

• Cured meats like prosciutto, salami, and mortadella

• Fresh mozzarella and provolone

• Roasted vegetables, arugula, and balsamic glaze

• Pesto and aioli

Enjoy your sandwich with a complimentary coffee or tea.
