Description
In this bagel baking class in New York, the shop around you is real: a working Times Square bagel shop that turns out about 10,000 bagels a day. Over two hours an award-winning baker walks you from dough to finished bagel.
After a warm welcome and an icebreaker with the other bagel fans, you learn the classic rope-and-loop rolling technique and put it to work on at least six bagels of your own. A dough-making demonstration shows what goes into every good bagel, then you boil and seed your bagels yourself, with the instructor beside you.
While the dough rests, you step behind the scenes to watch commercial bagel-making up close, while the instructor traces the bagel's path from Poland through the Bagel Bakers' Union to today's New York version.
- Ingredients and equipment supplied for everyone
- A group tasting of your bagels with spreads, smoked fish and the usual toppings
- Soft drinks, beer and wine
- A bagel trivia quiz to finish
You leave with at least six bagels, the recipe, and access to an online course with step-by-step videos for baking again at home.
