Jürgen loves making bread more than any other type of baking. To celebrate a late Oktoberfest, Jürgen will impart his knowledge of two traditional breads: Rye Sourdough and classic lye Preztels- all washed down with a beer or two of some of Jürgen’s recommendations

YOU WILL MAKE, BAKE AND TAKE HOME:

·   Traditional Dark Rye Sourdough

·  Classic Pretzels

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