Easter morning in my family would not be complete without freshly baked yeasted breads and scrolls. Whether a warm yeast bun or thick slices of soft yeast plait with lashes of butter and home-made jam. Or, perhaps, a cinnamon and hazelnut scroll? Or how about one with poppyseeds or a creamy quark filling? This is what you will experience in this class!

We will create a fabulous cinnamon & hazelnut twist, which can form the centre piece of your Easter table! We will also make a traditional yeast plait, and I will show you how to do that using 3 strands of dough - it’s a lot of fun! And have I mentioned scrumptious scrolls or pockets filled with poppyseeds or a vanilla quark cream?

While there is a perception that working with yeast is tricky, I will show you that that is not really the case and provide you with lots of handy hints to ensure your baking at home will be a success too!

We will start the class around our kitchen table, and I will take you through the recipes step-by-step, before you roll up your sleeves and start kneading, rolling and twisting! We will finish off around the kitchen table with a bite to eat (a cheese and fruit platter), and you will also take one of each of the baked goods home, so you can share your creations with your family.

Apart from being fun, the class is designed to provide you with the skills and confidence to replicate each recipe at home. I also keep my classes small (with a maximum of 6 participants), so that there is plenty of opportunity for questions and conversations to maximise your learning experience.

The duration of the class is approx. 4 hours. The class is suitable for beginners as well as those seeking to expand their repertoire.
