Trendy and tricky enough to interest seasoned pie bakers yet approachable enough for those too intimidated by pies, galettes will become your new conduit for seasonal produce. In this hands-on class, bakers will tackle sweet galettes with the seasonal fruit of your choice, like mixed berries, apples, cherries or rhubarb. You apply the basics of preparing and handling galette pastry. You'll learn how to prepare and arrange fruity galette fillings so that their texture is divine and they also look stunning. And we'll make some fresh whipped cream to top them off.
This is a hands-on virtual class.
Gluten free and vegan friendly recipe variations are available. No special tools, equipment or ingredients needed.
All ages welcome and encouraged.
