🔹 Part 1: Brioche Demonstration – Buttery & Rich

Start the class with a demonstration of classic French Brioche. Watch as your instructor, Chef Liz, guides you through the process of making this luxurious, egg-rich dough — from mixing and proofing, to shaping and baking. You’ll learn:

Next, roll up your sleeves and get hands-on with authentic Ciabatta dough. You’ll mix, stretch, and fold your own high-hydration dough under expert guidance, learning:

Proper hydration levels and fermentation timing

The stretch-and-fold technique to develop gluten without kneading

How to shape and bake Ciabatta for that signature airy crumb and crispy crust

You’ll take home your very own loaf (and the skills to recreate it again and again).

🔹 Part 3: Build Your Own Italian Sandwich – Fresh, Flavorful & Filling

To wrap up the class, you’ll slice your freshly baked Ciabatta and build a gourmet Italian sandwich using:

Cured meats like prosciutto, salami, and mortadella

Fresh mozzarella and provolone

Sliced vegetables, arugula, and balsamic glaze

Pesto aioli

Enjoy your sandwich with a complimentary coffee or tea.
