In this class with Tyler, you’ll learn how to work with our freshly-milled flours to create beautiful pretzels with in-depth processes and techniques from dough to bath to bake.
Pretzels, though so easily and quickly enjoyed, are a labor of love from start to finish. Many traditional pretzels start with a rye-enhanced dough to achieve depth of flavor, are proofed and shaped into their characteristic knot, then dipped into a pH-adjusted bath (more details in class!) before being salted and sent to bake. With a deep love for pretzels and years of experience under his belt, Tyler will guide you through each step of the pretzel process and explain the science behind his methods, as well as ways to tweak the recipe and technique to customize your pretzel to your own tastes. You can expect to leave the class with a few pretzels of your own, after enjoying some pretzel-centric snacks!
This class is all-levels - beginners are welcome, and all levels of bread-makers and home cooks can learn something from this class. Those with intermediate to advanced experience will be able to dig into the nuts and bolts of tweaking recipes and methods to achieve masterful results, while beginners will learn invaluable bits of bread science and technique to bring your baking to the next level.
Things to look forward to:
- Have an opportunity to work with our own fresh flours, stone-milled right here at Barton Springs Mill
- Learn about the differences and uses for all of our wheat varietals
- Learn how to master the art of the pretzel!
- Snack elegantly and take home a few freshly baked pretzels!
