Mexican Sweet Breads : Pan Dulce

Saturday, October 25
$70.00

Join our hands-on Mexican bread baking class, where you’ll learn to create delightful treats from scratch! Master the art of making Conchas, Guerno Polveado, Champurrado. Chef Liz has deep knowledge of traditional Mexican breads (“pan dulce”, etc.) — the kinds of breads many home bakers haven’t made before. You’ll get hands‑on experience: shaping dough, working with specific kinds of sugars, topping, flavors, and textures that are characteristic of Mexican bread. You’ll get techniques that carry over into other baking: yeast handling, proofing, shaping, finishing, flavor balancing. Troubleshooting: knowing what to do if dough is too wet, not rising well, or browning too fast, etc.

This interactive class is a wonderful opportunity to explore the rich flavors of Mexican baking while enjoying a fun, creative environment!

Participation: Hands On!

Menu: 

  • Conchas : A concha consists of two parts, a sweetened bread roll, and a crunchy topping.

  • Guerno Polveado : Resembles a croissant in shape but has a richer, less flaky dough.

  • Champurrado : A thick, warm, sweet, and earthy Mexican Beverage: think Hot Chocolate!

Chef: Liz Tinajero

Coffee and Tea are complimentary.  Wine, beer, soda, and San Pelligrino can be purchased at the wine bar.

Our Hours

Liz Tinajero

I am a pastry chef currently working towards my bachelor's in food science while working as part of the culinary team here at The Joyful Gourmet. One of my goals in the kitchen is to make baking fun and approachable. As the evening store manager, I strive to make sure everyone has a great experience, whether it comes to introducing you to new kitchenware, sipping on a glass of wine or enjoying our cooking classes. When I'm not at work, I will either be working on my garden or nose deep in a book.
