優秀的戶外烘焙課程

Whether you're new to baking or an old pro, this class will improve and refine your baking skills with guided videos, new recipes, and fun challenges! In a format inspired by the Great British Baking Show, each week will be themed. Every Monday, learners will receive their "signature challenge" in the form of a video presentation from the teacher guiding them through the process of the bake. They will be given many opportunities to tweak the recipes and bring their own flavors and ideas to the bakes! They will have the opportunity to post their bakes in the online classroom, comment on their peers' bakes, and discuss how they felt the week went and what they learned.

Schedule
Week One: Cakes - Learners will work through a guided video lesson to bake a basic vanilla cake with buttercream frosting. They are free to add their own different flavorings if desired. They will also be instructed on basic frosting equipment and techniques. 

Week Two: Cookies/Biscuits - Our video lesson this week will focus on tuiles . We will learn about the proper way to mix, shape, and bake the thin, crisp cookies, with options to add different flavorings such as citrus zest.

Week Three: Bread - We will tackle the scary (but easier than you'd think) French baguette. Learners will bake along with a video and learn the importance of weighing ingredients, how to gently handle and shape the bread dough, and the French technique of baking in a steamy oven.

Week Four: Desserts - Dessert week will contain a video lesson about meringue cookies. Meringue is an intimidating bake for some, but learners will see how simple it can be and have fun with their designs as they bake!

Week Five: Pie - We'll take a trip to the savory side by making meat pies. Learners will bake along with me in a video as they learn how to make a pie crust, techniques to avoid overfilling their pies, and how to avoid the infamous "soggy bottom." (Learners can use any filling they would like, including vegetarian.)

Week Six: Pastry - We saved the scariest for last! This week's signature challenge will be eclairs. The video lesson will teach learners how to make and pipe choux pastry, chocolate ganache, and pastry cream.
