Just wanted to give everyone a heads up that I’ve finally scheduled my next online workshop, this one on all things soft pretzels, on July 8, 2023. Here are the details:
Join me for a 3-hour workshop on July 8, 2023 all about making soft pretzels at home. We'll cover both crispy-soft Bavarian-style ones and plushie-soft ballpark-style ones, both using simple hand-mixed, poolish-based doughs that come together quickly, and a proofing method that is flexible to any schedule.
I'll show you how to overcome your fear of lye (which makes for the best flavor and appearance) and cover the use of "baked" baking soda for a slightly less effective but also less dangerous approach. And I'll share the secret to ultra-glossy pretzels that I learned from my German baker friend Heike.
As always, handouts and videos will be provided for review after the class or if you cannot attend in person, and I'll make myself available for follow-up after the class has ended.
