Class Description
Challah bread may just be the most versatile bread out there: thick, luxurious French Toast? Check. Perfect, dense bread pudding? Yep, Challah can do that too. You can even use it as a stuffing base. Today we're teaching you to make a classic Challah loaf and warm, spiced Hot Cross Buns. Your guide is Executive Pastry Chef Catie Wiley, who joins us after a distinguished career as a pastry chef at several iconic patisseries and restaurants on the East Coast.

First we'll learn the techniques and tricks to make a personal-sized braided Challah Loaf, a delectable, dense and versatile bread that will become a staple of your bread baking repertoire. You will work in groups to make the dough which will be used for personal sized loaves. These loaves will be ready for any spring get togethers. Next Chef Catie will demo hot cross buns, a sweet and spiced bun containing dried fruit. Both breads are an easy addition to your spring menus and are perfect to add to your  baking rotation! This is a beginner-friendly class, and you'll take home a personal-sized Challah Loaf.
