Bold Baking Academy: Mastering Breakfast Doughs & Pastries

Description Learn how to make three different doughs while making delicious recipes. These doughs are so versatile that once you have learned how to make them you will be able to use these recipes as a jumping off point for your own creations! We will kick off the course with our Simply Delicious class in which we will make Fluffy Beignets. If you haven’t heard of them, no fear! They are just a type of yeasted doughnut. I will be going over how to use yeast, how to proof dough and, of course, how to deep fry. One bite and you truly won’t believe how something so yummy could be so easy to make! After this, we will delve into pastry making in our Step It Up class where I will teach you how to make Toasted Almond and Raspberry Turnovers. You will learn how to make a shatteringly flaky rough puff pastry that will be filled with a rich toasted almond filling and sweet raspberry jam. A note of caution on this one: be prepared for the fights that will break out over who gets the last one! I love a good dough so much that I couldn’t miss the opportunity to teach you how to make a laminated dough. We will end this course with my Challenge Yourself class: Extra Flaky Laminated Biscuits. In this class, we will again work with a yeasted dough, and then you will learn how to laminate a dough: we will make and incorporate a butter block into the dough with a series of rolls, folds and rests to create a beautifully layered, crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside biscuit. If you have ever wondered about making croissants or Danish pastries, you will now have the experience that you need to go forward! Don’t forget to look out for your two exclusive recipes: a savory and delicious Complete Breakfast Tart as well as savory Sage and Cheddar scone! There are so many fun things to make this month and I can’t wait to get started!
