  • Apricot or Almond-Coolrise Sweet Bread (Southwest)

    This old but no longer much-used method for making sweet breads is ripe for revival: you make a partly gelatinized dough, fill and braid it in class, refrigerate it overnight, then bake it straight from the fridge the next evening. Its buttery crumb is light and moist; its crust is thin and beautifully browned. Best of all, because of this method's divided timings, it can fit your busy schedule. In class, you'll bake already-prepared dough and prepare your own for your next-day bake, so be sure to bring a half-sheet pan and a roll of your own plastic wrap to class. If class is full, please enroll for the waitlist. We will contact you if a space becomes available.
