WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 7th, 6-8:30pm*/LITTLE TART GRANT PARK

*this class may run 15 to 20 minutes over the allotted time

Enjoy an evening learning how to use brioche for a variety of treats! Betsy Gonzalez of Osono Bread and Brennan Johnson of Gentle Rhythms will share the sourdough and yeasted doughnut-making process from beginning to end, highlighting everything you need to know to replicate these sweet confections at home. Plus, we’ll be baking and decorating the same dough to make brioche tarts and Italian maritozzi. 

This class will rely largely on demonstrations to teach basic principles. Students will, however, use their senses throughout the lesson and get a bit of hands-on practice. Discover the versatility of an enriched dough, as your instructors take you step-by-step on how to mix, shape, proof, and fry brioche for doughnuts. Learn how to craft and flavor your own fillings and glazes, beginning with pastry creams, citrus curds, and seasonal toppings and decoration. Lessons on fermentation and maintaining a sourdough starter will be provided.

We’ll be hosting this class at Little Tart Grant Park (437 Memorial Drive SE, Atlanta, GA 30312), where there is ample space to congregate and cook together. We’ll have some complimentary wine and other beverages available to participants, as well as a variety of small bites. 

Participants will take home a jar of starter, a 4-pack of donuts filled and decorated in class as well as a couple of extra pastries, and a comprehensive guide to making donuts at home.
