The Three Bs: Biscuits, Biscotti & Brioche
Unlock the secrets to three entirely different baking worlds in one fun, fast-paced masterclass! Join us in the studio as we demystify the science of dough handling and conquer “The Three Bs.” You will learn how to manipulate butter, moisture, and yeast to achieve three completely distinct textures—from hyper-flaky layers to a satisfying espresso-ready crunch and a pillowy, golden loaf. Whether you’re looking to master baking chemistry or just expand your home baking repertoire, this hands-on workshop will give you the confidence, tools, and techniques to conquer any pastry recipe.
