Portuguese Baking

Learn how to make three wonderful Portuguese classics in this half day workshop.

YOU WILL MAKE, BAKE AND TAKE HOME:

• Pastéis de Nata

• Pão com Chouriço

• Pão de Deus

Your teacher, Jethro, will guide you through making the perfect flaky pastry, essential for the delicious Pastéis de Nata (custard tarts). You’ll then make the custard with your teammates. These famous custard tarts are a true classic, and date back to the 18th Century.

Pão com Chouriço is bread stuffed with Chorizo (Portuguese paprika-spiced pork sausage), traditionally eaten straight from the oven, and enjoyed during festivals. You’ll learn how to make the dough, which will then be proved before rolling out and filling with chorizo. Please note, a vegetarian alternative is available – just specify when booking.

Pão de Deus means ‘bread of God’. These are a lovely brioche-type bun, topped with coconut. They are often eaten for breakfast or as a sweet treat. Jethro will show you how to make the beautifully soft dough by hand.

You’ll come away with plenty of these delicious baked goods to share with friends.

YOUR TEACHER: Jethro Carr is a Brighton resident and an old friend of Open Bakery. Having devoted the last two decades to teaching, his culinary adventures have taken him to Kew Gardens; Imperial College, London; and the BBC’s Good Food Show.
