Indulge in the art of enriched bread baking in this deliciously immersive class featuring Chocolate Babka with Coffee Syrup. In this class Mary Storey will guide you step-by-step through creating a beautifully swirled, bakery-style loaf packed with rich chocolate flavor and finished with a bold coffee-infused syrup.

You’ll learn how to mix and knead a soft, buttery brioche-style dough, develop proper gluten structure, and achieve the perfect rise. We’ll walk through making a luscious chocolate filling, then demonstrate the signature rolling, slicing, and twisting technique that creates babka’s iconic layered swirl.

To elevate the flavor, you’ll prepare a fragrant coffee syrup that’s brushed over the warm loaf, adding moisture, shine, and a subtle espresso kick that perfectly complements the chocolate.

In this class, you’ll learn:

·       How to prepare enriched yeast dough from scratch

·       Proper proofing and fermentation techniques

·       Creating and spreading a smooth chocolate filling

·       Shaping and twisting babka for a stunning presentation

·       Making and applying a coffee syrup for added flavor and sheen

By the end of class, you’ll take home your own beautifully baked chocolate babka—perfect for brunch, dessert, or gifting (if you can resist eating it first!).

This is a perfect Date/Friend’s Day Out class!

This class is suitable for the following Dynamic Duo types:

YES: Parent/Grandparent & Child

YES: Couples (live in the same household)

YES: Friends (you will share all equipment/ingredients for 1 recipe/batch…we let you rock, paper, scissors if the recipe doesn’t divide equally.)

*What is a Dynamic Duo? It’s basically two buddies sharing the same workstation at no extra charge. You share all equipment and ingredients for a singlebatch of whatever we’re making that day. (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!)

We provide all ingredients, supplies, and tools required for use during each class. Best of all you get to take home whatever tasty treats you make - we provide all boxes/packaging.

Please wear comfortable shoes (stools will be provided) and have long hair tied back. For the comfort of all our students and staff, we ask that you refrain from wearing strong perfume or cologne. You may wish to bring a cardigan or sweater as the kitchen is kept at 68F.
