Spend the morning making laminated dough, take a lunch break to let the dough rest, and then spend the afternoon creating flaky pastries. What could be a better way to spend a Fall day? The morning will be spent hands on learning new techniques preparing the dough block (detrémpe); butter block (beurrage); laminating the two; learning the ways to fold the dough to create the many layers. Then during your lunch break the dough will be resting. You will then divide the dough, setting one-half aside to take home for future use and one-half to use in class. The afternoon will be spent learning how to roll, shape, fill, and bake the flakey pastries including plain croissant, pain au chocolate, and the ever popular Kouign Amann! Included in the class is a recipe packet (both printed and .pdf file sent after class) listing tools needed and recipes for items made in class.
Instructor: Evelyn Schichner
