What you'll do
Baking the best bread in New York City starts with flour, water, salt, and a little guidance from someone who actually knows what they're doing! In this hands-on bread baking class, Chef Will walks you through the art of rustic country French bread completely from scratch -- from mixing and kneading the dough to shaping and pulling a beautifully crusty, airy loaf straight out of the oven. You'll also pick up the foundational techniques behind classic French baguettes, so your skills don't stop when the class does. And to make things even sweeter, Chef Will demonstrates a seasonal fruit jam to go alongside your warm, fresh-baked slices.If you've been Googling "how to bake bread" and feeling slightly intimidated, this is exactly where you want to land. This class is designed for all levels -- whether you're a curious first-timer who's happier taste-testing than kneading, or a baking enthusiast ready to get your hands fully in the dough. You'll work in small groups of three to four, all ingredients and equipment are provided, and the vibe is fun and relaxed, not stressful or competitive.As far as things to do in New York City go, this one's a genuine crowd-pleaser and honestly one of the best date ideas or group activity options in the city. Arrive 15 minutes early to check in, bring your appetite, and feel free to BYOB if you're 21+. You'll leave with real skills, a loaf you actually made, and probably a new favorite weekend hobby!Please note:Please arrive 15 minutes early to check in. You will be seated with your booking party.
