    Croissant Class Reminder + Recording

    Chocolate Pecan Croissant Coffeecake

    Just a quick reminder that the Croissant Class will be this Saturday. Included is the much ,much easier method of making this French Pastry. No more butter blocks or fear of butter break throughs. Authentic Croissants are yours in just four to five hours start to finish.

    Laminated doughs are formed by trapping butter between many layers of dough. When baked, the water in the butter turns to steam and the layers are lifted resulting in layers and layers of dough visible.

    Often thought of as scary or difficult these doughs are oftened avoided. I wrote about this technique in my first book, The New Pastry Cook, years ago and I still use it today. There is nothing more satisfying than mastering this technique. While today's class features Croissant, this technique can be applied to any laminated dough such as puff pastry, kouign amann, and Danish pastry.

    Recorded Classes

    Since I have been teaching via Zoom for the last year, many have asked for recordings.  In the past, it was something I had to add to my schedule which is already over-crowded.  However, I have made arrangements to have the classes posted by someone else so I am happy to let you know that in the future I will be offering the recordings as part of the cost of the class.  In addition, if you can’t attend the class, sign up and the recording will be forwarded to you.

    Please allow a week for the recordings to be available.

    Hi, I'm Helen! Being a self-taught baker and owning a bakery for over 25 years, I found many ways to make baking more successful and less intimidating. Even busy people can bake as in many cases, recipes can be done over days. The goal is to make your baking life easier, more enjoyable, with great outcomes on a consistent basis.
