Jürgen's German Pretzel Class

We are delighted to be able to offer a class taught by The Great British Bake Off’s 2021 semi-finalist: Jürgen Krauss, a local Brighton resident!

Jürgen loves making bread more than any other type of baking.  In this 4-hour class Jürgen will impart his knowledge of two traditional German breads: Neujahrsbrezel and traditional Pretzels.

This is a fun, hands on class producing your own tasty pretzels to take home and enjoy.

The Neujahrsbrezel is a New Year´s treat and is made with an enriched dough, known as “Hefeteig”. It´s gently flavoured with vanilla and lemon zest, then shaped into a plaited, Pretzel shape and decorated.  For the authentic soft pretzels you will be using traditional ingredients, including lye to create the shiny crisp finish.

YOU WILL MAKE AND TAKE HOME: 1 large Neujahrsbrezel and 6 tradition pretzels

4.5 HOUR CLASS – Allow an extra 30 minutes runover time.

COFFEE AND PATISSERIE BREAK! A little time to relax and chat over coffee and fondants!

YOUR TEACHER: Needs little introduction, but a passionate baker from a very early age and a much-loved competitor of The Great British Bake Off 2021.
