Join us for an interactive morning of baking fun as Chef and seasoned culinary instructor and bread-making expert Mari Ruck walks you step-by-step to create two exceptional breads: Crusty European Bread and a classic French Baguette.

You’ll learn the basics of bread-making - everything from flours, kneading techniques, proofing, baking tips, and much more. She’ll walk you through a hands-on, step-by-step process to make dough using a pre-ferment to create a classic French Baguette, sized for the home oven.

Next, you’ll learn the secrets to an easy European hearth bread – a crusty, tasty bread that is so satisfying to eat.  You will also learn the secrets of water and flour and baking techniques necessary to make this incredible loaf.

Mari says “It’s all in the recipe and knowing what to do, and when,” and she’s eager to share her tips and techniques with you today.  Best of all, you will take your own baguette starter dough and European Crusty Bread dough to bake off and share with your family at home.

Note: If you live more than a 30-45-minute drive from CCKC, bring a small cooler with you to carry your dough home without it over fermenting)
