Bavarian Pretzel Making

Can’t make it to the Oktoberfest in Munich this year to sample a real Bavarian Pretzel? No problem - you can make your own authentic soft pretzels at home! Learn how to make pretzels and pretzel rolls and with Heike Meyer of Bee Sting Bakery. In this class, you will learn about the history of pretzels (or “Brez’n" as they are called it in Bavaria), try your hand at the shaping technique and bake some Brez'n to take home. We will have fun exploring different types, shapes and tastes of this authentic German bread specialty, and you will go home with an authentic recipe. Heike Meyer is the owner of Bee Sting Bakery in Fairfax, a small artisan bakery specializing in naturally leavened breads and pastries. She grew up in Germany, where she leaned to bake in Berlin's oldest biodynamic bakery.

This class will be held in the Edmund Middle School cafeteria kitchen. Attendees can park in the parking lot off Maple Street and enter through the cafeteria door that faces the drive.
