Focaccia & (Easy) Baklava

Baking Retreat
Wednesday, October 23, 2024
10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. (ET)
Pam Hardiman

Bake a quick focaccia, topped with flaked sea salt and fresh rosemary, plus grapes (Fr David’s favorite) or roasted red peppers.  We will also learn how to stretch out the process at home to build flavor. While our focaccia is rising, we will bake an easy and incredibly tasty baklava (again inspired by Fr David!).

Space is limited to 15 participants.

Offering: $75, includes lunch and baking ingredients
