What's Happening in Braeside, VIC…

Bakers and pastry chefs in the Braeside area can join an afternoon class that will be led by a pastry maker and award-winning chef at the beginning of March.

The hands-on class will teach attendees how to make both savoury and sweet dough and how to shape the pastry scrolls, fill, prove and then bake them, all using traditional methods.

The class will cover the different flours available and what that means for the texture and rise of the finished product. It will also cover making the dough by both machine and hand, how to roll out the dough and shape it into plaits, rosettes and twists, followed by the proving and baking of the sweet or savoury treat. All baked goods made can then be taken home to share with family and friends.

Those attending cooking and baking events like this one often leave with recipe cards or leaflets that have been produced by local printing services.

The Scrolls and Twists Workshop is taking place on Sunday, 1 March, from 1 pm until 4.30 pm. The location is the Big Little Catering Company, 20 Garden Boulevard, Dingley Village. The cost of a ticket is $195 for two adults, and children are also welcome to participate. No prior experience is required, and all ingredients and equipment will be provided.
