Bring a taste of NYC to your group's kitchen: learn to make bagels! Make, shape, then boil and bake this tasty brunch treat along with our chef instructor. We'll even make a roasted garlic-chive cream cheese to schmear on a bagel at the end of this two-hour class.
Your Group Will Learn/Do:
- Make bagel dough
- Roll bagels into their bagel-y shapes
- Bake your freshly made bagels to perfection
- Make homemade roasted garlic & chive cream cheese which you can spread on your incredible bagels.
We typically make plain & everything bagels, but if there's a specific bagel type your group has in mind we'll work with you to make it happen.
No experience is required! The ingredients list is below, much of it is commonly found at home, and we're happy to help you source supplies/ingredients for your group as needed.
