Upcoming Kitsap County, WA Classes

Pugliese bread is a delicious Italian rustic loaf characterized by large holes in a structured crumb with a well developed, crunchy crust. Starters are required for this class (see Sourdough Starters 101, bring your own, or make arrangements with Isabel if you need one). A short assignment will also be given the day before the class to feed your starter for the class.

Focaccia is a dimpled, flat shaped Italian bread generously flavored with olive oil and found all over Italy. Similar in style and texture to pizza, its exceptionally fluffy interior and a distinctive chew make it great as a side dish or sandwich bread. It is also a great palate for tasty artwork as you will see in this class!

A yeast bread enriched with eggs, challah is similar to brioche (except that it contains oil instead of butter). Challah is often a braided loaf and makes an excellent French toast and bread pudding. In this class you will make a six-braid loaf.

In this class you will learn to laminate your own croissant dough, (which will then need to sit overnight in your fridge). The last hour of our class will be a demonstration of what you will do the next day to cut, roll and bake them to perfection.

A glimpse into the world of fine chocolates, including how to temper chocolate. You will bring home a variety of both enrobed and dipped homemade truffles, plus all the recipes.
