So many of you have requested this class after you've enjoyed Brian's Focaccia Pizza for lunch at one of our full day classes, we've finally picked a date! We'll have a batch of dough ready for you and Brian will teach you how to make the dough (you'll go home with your own batch of dough so you can make more focaccia pizza's over the coming days.) While your dough is resting, Brian will teach you his signature sauce (the one he's been perfecting for the last couple of years) and the secret technique he uses when baking the pizzas to get that rich depth of flavor. Once your sauce is ready, you'll have a smörgåsbord of toppings to choose from to customize your pizzas.  During the class you’ll learn about the variety of sauces you can use to mix it up a bit at home!

(Don’t worry, we won’t stick you with some random stranger- if you want to fly solo, you’ll have the station (and all the yummy food) all to yourself!)

A: Bienenstich!

Join Brian Knowles for a Wunderbar class making the exquisite Bienenstich (Bee Sting Cake)…bee-lieve me, it is so worthy of all the buzz!

Join Brian Knowles for a fun morning exploring the (if not extinct, very elusive at least in Florida) Bialy, originally from the city of Białystok in Poland, is a traditional bread roll in Polish Ashkenazi Jewish cuisine. Bialys are often likened to bagels, but aside from both being made with yeasted dough, they are a two distinctly different types of roll; bialys aren’t boiled like bagels before baking and rather than a hole in the center, the top of bialys have an indentation filled with a caramelized onion-poppy seed-breadcrumb topping that’s irresistible. Once baked, you can stuff your bialys with whatever you like- cream cheese, smoked salmon (or lox), poached eggs, salad fixings, deli meats and cheeses…the options are endless.

As this is a Brunch class, we’ll have several filling options available for you to choose from and of course mimosas too. Best of all, you’ll have a batch of bialys to bring home (they freeze beautifully!) to share -or not- with your friends and family.

During this FULL DAY Sourdough DISCARD 101 class with Brian Knowles we’ll work our way through several recipes (all of which you’ll bring home with you.)

• Sweet or Savory Sourdough Discard Pull Apart Bread

• Sweet and Savory Sourdough Discard Waffles

• Sourdough Discard Chocolate Crinkle Cookies

  We’ll start the morning learning how to make Sweet or Savory Sourdough Discard Pull Apart Bread (the choice is yours…pictured above are the focaccia and cinnamon sugar varieties, but your imagination is the limit flavor wise!) While that dough rises, you’ll start your own batch of Sourdough Waffle Batter…which can be divided into your choice of flavors (we particularly liked the Cheddar and Bacon and the Chocolate Chip ones, but even the plain ones disappeared in record speed with their slight tang and crispy deliciousness.) Rounding off the day, you’ll make, bake and fill the most amazing Sourdough Discard Chocolate Crinkle Cookies…they’re so good, they DISAPPEARED in record speed!

There will be several sourdough discard nibbles to enjoy while you’re making your own goodies!

Brian Knowles has been baking up a storm again…this time he’ll be teaching you how to recreate a recipe perfect for your next brunch gathering- with the added bonus of a seafaring link: Khachapuri!

Khachapuri is a traditional Georgian bread typically served for breakfast or lunch. This soft, cheese-filled bread is the national dish of the country of Georgia. Part of its charm is that it varies by region; the open-faced Adjaruli Khachapuri version is filled with cheese and herbs, with an egg nestled on top.  It is quite literally a cheese boat or canoe -shaped to represent the sailors and boat builders along the Black Sea.

You’ll learn to shape and stuff the traditional boat shaped breads and the secret to having a perfectly runny egg yolk every time (if that’s not your thing, you can certainly opt for a less runny option.) You’ll also make a batch of dough to bring with you to recreate this wonderful bread at home. Brian will also teach you the secrets to his delicious Lemon Vinaigrette Dressing to enjoy over your Summer Salad. And no brunch class would be complete without our freshly made mimosas!
