Pie Dough Masterclass Level 1

Stop settling for "good enough" grocery store crusts. Whether you’re a total beginner or a home baker looking to conquer your "soggy bottom" fears, this hands-on workshop is designed to turn you into a confident dough pro.

In this intensive, fun-filled session, we strip away the mystery of the perfect crust. You won’t just follow a recipe; you’ll learn the science of the flake and the techniques that top pastry chefs use to get that elusive, shatteringly crisp texture every single time.

What’s Cooling in This Class?

• All-Inclusive Experience: We provide everything. High-quality fats, premium flours, and all the tools you need are ready and waiting at your station.

• The "Why" Behind the "How": Learn the critical tips and tricks—from the importance of water temperature to the "fraisage" technique for marbled fat distribution.

• Hard-Won Lessons: Benefit from years of kitchen "fails" as we walk you through common pitfalls and how to save a dough that’s gone rogue.

• The "Blind Bake" Finish: You won't just leave with a ball of dough. You’ll head home with a perfectly blind-baked crust, golden and set, ready to be filled with your favorite fresh fruit, cream, or custard.
