German Holiday Baking with Brot

This class has been sold out!

Join us for a traditional German Advent baking class, featuring a presentation about the history and traditions around holiday baking, and a demonstration of making some of the best-know holiday specialties in central Europe. We will feature some of the most beloved items you find on every “Adventsteller” in Europe (a traditional plate of baked goods, found in virtually every home during this time): Stollen, Lebkuchen, Zimtsterne (cinnamon stars) and Vanillekipferl (vanilla crescents).

The class will start with a presentation about European holiday baking traditions and how each of the baked goods we’ll make in class is firmly rooted in those traditions. Heike will then demo some of the basic steps of making those specialties; sharing important tips and tricks when baking them at home.

With recipes right from the bakery you can start making those specialties yourself in your home kitchen - just in time for the holidays. This class will be held in the Community Room of the South End store, and face coverings will be required at all times; tastings of some of the items featured in this class will be available to take home to enjoy.
