Classic Croissants and Pain Au Chocolat
Croissants are one of the most flaky and buttery of French pastries. In this 2.5-hour class, you will learn to mix and knead the croissant dough, laminate with the butter layer, and to shape and bake the classic croissant. We will use the same dough to also make delicious pain au chocolat. While the dough rests and chills in the fridge, we will also make easy Strawberry jam to later smear on your Croissants.
No experience is required! We will send you the equipment and ingredients list, which are easy to find and you may already have them in your home kitchen. Some essential ingredients for this class include: AP flour, butter, milk, eggs, sugar, milk, salt, yeast, almond flour, semi-sweet chocolate, and strawberries (if making the jam). You will have an opportunity to interact with the Chef and ask questions. Ticket is on a per-person basis.
Prepare your mis-en-place ahead of the session (this step is crucial!) grab your apron, and get ready to join a fun virtual baking party! Ticket is on a per-person basis.The class times are in Eastern Time!
