Classes for high school students
Expand your baking skills with the fundamentals of brioche-based pastry—from dough preparation and cutting, weighing, and shaping, to filling the pastries with chocolate, cherry, apricot, and other fillings. We will make several shapes such as buttery, caramelized French kouign-amann; sweet, braided mini-babka; and various filled buns. Bake your delectable pastries with the experts at the artisan bakery, Bread Obsession, and take them home to share with your sweetheart. All levels welcome.
Please note: Participants will need to wear a head covering (scarf or baseball hat).
Varda Haimo started Bread Obsession in her kitchen in 2013, after a six-year self-taught apprenticeship with unlimited help and inspiration from professional and home bakers. Seeking a wider range of customers who would appreciate the full range of her breads, she expanded the business, bringing in business partner Joan Forman (on right in photo)– a fellow bread enthusiast and baker – and setting up shop in a commercial kitchen in Waltham Massachusetts. Now staffed with additional bakers and support personnel, we sell bread to stores, restaurants, and farms in 15 towns, and directly to customers at local farmers market.
