Learn how to transform a classic pie into a unique centerpiece in this braided pie shell baking class in Manhattan! This baking workshop will guide you through the process of creating flaky pie dough from scratch and shaping it into a beautiful braided crust design.
With step-by-step guidance from your expert instructor, you’ll begin by mixing and kneading dough before letting it rest. While the dough chills, you’ll prepare a simple but delicious homemade jam filling that adds just the right amount of sweetness to your pie. Then, it’s time for the fun part. You’ll roll up you’re sleeves and your dough, pressing it into a pie tin, and learning how to cut and braid strips of dough into intricate, decorative patterns.
This NYC baking class makes for a fun group activity in the city, or is perfect as a gift for bakers in your life. By the end of the baking workshop, you’ll leave with a gorgeous, handmade braided pie and the confidence to recreate a dessert that’s as easy as…well, pie!

  • Your own baked braided pie with homemade jam filling
