Croissant Making

Learn how to make professional level croissants! We'll walk you through making dough, layering butter, cutting, shaping and baking flaky croissants. We'll talk about choosing the right butter for a good result.How it worksJoin us for a full day at our working bakery in scenic, rural Monroe County. Arrive early for coffee and introductions, and then we will dive into lamination (creating the layers of butter and dough) with owner Eric Schedler. Participants will work in pairs as we spend the morning turning butter and dough into a great croissant dough. While the dough rests, we will make and bake a pizza lunch in the brick oven using ingredients from the greenhouse. In the afternoon we will shape the croissants and learn how to make some of our best pastry fillings. Workshops are limited to 10 participants and the cost is $135, which includes the pizza lunch. There is plenty of time for discussion, asking questions, and getting to know enthusiastic bakers from around the area.We recommend registering with a friend, as everyone will share a dough with a partner.Schedule9:45 - 10 AM: Coffee and introductions10 AM - 11:30 AM: Dough Work11:30 AM - 1 PM: Pizza lunch1:30 PM - 2:30 PM: Dough Work2:30 PM - 4:30 PM: Break, Q & A4:30 PM - 5:30 PM: Final prep and baking
