In this hands-on class, we’ll teach you the techniques for creating rich, laminated (layering the dough with butter and folding it over) and yeasted Danish dough. You’ll get plenty of hands-on practice in class mixing, kneading, laminating, hand-shaping, and proofing yeasted dough. We’ll create 18 hand-shaped Danish, including almond-filled Bear Claws, Pinwheels, and Pockets filled with cream cheese or fruit.
