World Bread Day Classes

Celebrate the timeless art of baking and bringing people together through the universal language of good food. These classes often highlight the diversity of bread-making traditions from around the world, teaching participants the techniques behind rustic loaves, soft rolls, and enriched doughs.

Attendees can learn the science of gluten, the importance of proper kneading, and how to achieve that perfect golden crust. More than just a hands-on learning experience, such classes foster a sense of community, creativity, and appreciation for the craftsmanship that turns simple ingredients—flour, water, yeast, and salt—into something extraordinary.

Class Synopsis

Croissant Loaf: A croissant loaf class invites bakers to explore the rich, buttery world of laminated dough in a new and exciting form. Participants learn the techniques behind layering butter and dough to achieve the signature flaky texture of a croissant, then shape and bake it into a beautiful pull-apart loaf. The class focuses on precision, patience, and the science of temperature control, while offering tips for creating golden, airy layers and a tender crumb. It’s an ideal experience for anyone looking to improve their baking skills and bring a touch of French-inspired artistry to their home kitchen.

Indian Spiced Clay Pot Chicken: We immerse participants in the vibrant flavors and traditional cooking methods of Indian cuisine. Students learn to marinate tender chicken in a blend of aromatic spices, yogurt, and herbs, then cook it slowly in a clay pot to achieve deep, earthy flavor and succulent texture. The class highlights the balance of heat and fragrance in Indian spices, the importance of layering flavors, and the unique benefits of clay pot cooking. It’s a sensory journey that combines culture, technique, and the joy of creating a richly spiced, comforting dish.

Class Synopsis

In this interactive, hands-on class, participants will choose among six themed tables, each offering a unique culinary experience centered around a Mediterranean Dip Board. Each station highlights a different recipe and technique — from blending creamy hummus and tangy feta dip to using an extruder for crisp crackers and cookies. Attendees will roll out delicate seeded crackers and grissini with a pasta roller, slice vibrant crudité for fresh dipping options, and craft refreshing mocktails using a juicer. Chef Erin will build the finished dip boards to enjoy at the end of class.
