Cool-Rise Sweet Bread Braids


Adult Classes and Activities / Cook -
Spring 2025

Experienced bakers know that nothing contributes more flavor to wheat doughs than long, slow fermentations. Happily, these also work very well for people with demanding schedules, because you prepare your dough and then give it a nice long sleep in the refrigerator—anywhere between 8 and 24 hours—until you are ready to bake it. Join Jan for an exploration of this lovely method of making sweet breads. You’ll prepare apricot braids and/or cardamon-almond braids in class, bring them home for their long nap in the fridge, and bake them when you want. Sample braids will be baked in class. Bring a 1/2-sheet pan to class to carry home your braids. Food costs are included in your class fee.
