Learn how to make three holiday bread recipes in this hands-on 3-hour baking class in Manhattan with NY Cake Academy! In this workshop, you’ll make three classic seasonal loaves completely from scratch: a spiced gingerbread loaf, a traditional German stollen, and a shareable holiday pull-apart bread.
Under expert instruction and in a low-pressure environment, you’ll learn essential yeast-dough and quick-bread techniques, including kneading, shaping, filling, and glazing. You’ll bake a moist gingerbread loaf with warm spices and molasses, then finish it with a delicate icing drizzle.
Next, you’ll craft rich stollen dough studded with rum-soaked dried fruits and citrus peel, wrap it around a sweet marzipan core, and dust it with powdered sugar snow. Finally, you’ll layer sweet enriched dough with cinnamon-sugar butter to make a delicious pull-apart bread.
You’ll leave with a bakery box filled with your handcrafted gingerbread loaf, stollen, and pull-apart bread, perfect for sharing. If you're searching for easy holiday recipes, creative date ideas, or fun things to do in NYC for the holidays, this class is a great way to spend an afternoon.
