Babka: Aprende a hacer una Babka que volverá loca a la gente.

Babka is a traditional dessert made of braided bread or cake.  We'll learn how to make two babka recipes:  chocolate and cinnamon.  I'll provide recipes and supply lists.  My approach to baking classes is to provide step-by-step instructions and photos (that I've taken of my own babka baking) from start to finish.  There are plenty of opportunities to ask questions.  I go in to lots of detail (how to cut the recipe if you're baking for a small group of 2 people, braiding options).  The class is very interactive, hands-on, and practical.  Any student who has some experience, I invite them to share their input or advice as well.

Session 1:  Step-by-step photos and explanation of how to make a cinnamon babka.  We'll cover questions about the recipe, ingredients, equipment, and technique.  Learners will then make a cinnamon babka after the 1st session is over.

Session 2:  We'll review how the cinnamon babka went, what they learned from that effort, and how they might tinker with the recipe.  We'll look at different braids.  We'll do a step-by-step approach to making a chocolate babka.  Then we'll cover alternative recipes.

Interaction will be continual.  It's not necessary for students to have any experience with a babka previously.  But they need to be safe in a kitchen, they need to be comfortable using the oven to bake with.  And it's nice but not essential if they've worked with dough previously.
