Knead to Know: A Bread Making Master-Class for Beginners & Beyond!
Ready to finally feel confident baking bread from scratch? In this hands-on Master Class, you’ll learn the essential skills and techniques to create beautiful, bakery-quality breads right in your own kitchen. Together, we’ll make 3 foundational breads every home baker should know: a rustic artisan crusty loaf, soft fluffy dinner rolls, and classic sandwich bread. You’ll also enjoy a special demonstration of a stunning filled and braided Pane Bianco, which is perfect for entertaining or gifting.
Along the way, we’ll demystify bread baking by exploring different flours, hydration levels, and yeast types while breaking down key concepts like baker’s percentages and the science behind gluten development and yeast, and exploring the simple tools / pieces of equipment that can take your bread making to the next level. You’ll learn the difference between simple and enriched doughs, how to troubleshoot common mistakes, and how to adapt each dough to create a variety of breads and rolls.
Whether you’re brand new to bread making or looking to refine your skills, this class will give you the knowledge, confidence, and practical experience to succeed.

Instructor
Tess Georgakopoulos has been cooking since she was roughly six years old -- well over forty years. Born into a Greek family, the art of cooking traditional meals using one's senses rather than recipes and measurements was passed on from one generation to the next. Her father was a trained chef who brought the magic of food to life in another form as they cooked elaborate family meals together. Food prepared from the heart, with one's own hands and creativity, was, and continues to be, an expression of love in her home. As a skilled home-cook and baker, Tess enjoys creating original recipes for her family and friends. She has recently started writing her first cookbook, and has a food blog in the works.
