Ah, brioche, that moist, buttery French bread! You’ve seen it before on sweet-tender burger buns, or as the base bread for fancy French Toast. This bread gets its delectable attributes from its high butter and egg content. Typically requiring overnight fermentation, this class will share two methods of making and using brioche dough (one to be used right after the first rise, and one which has been refrigerated overnight).
Together with French-trained pastry chef, Jessica Lopez, you will use your brioche dough to wrap up and decorate a round of brie and roll up some salami spirals. These are perfect recipes to take to parties or to serve to guests at home. Working with freshly stone-ground grains from Barton Springs Mill gives this brioche an extraordinary flavor - the best secret-ingredient ever! Come learn French technique with local flour, and turn it into some fun appetizers or a beautiful centerpiece that your guests are sure to remember.
Come for the experience, and go home with knowledge of food science, pastry-history, new recipes, a few bags of stone-ground flour to recreate these at home!

A little bit about your instructor:
After graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Nutrition from the University of Texas at Austin, Jessica’s fascination with food science led her to further pursue her education in pastry school at FERRANDI in Paris, France. She spent her internship working in the Michelin starred pastry kitchen at the palace hotel Four Seasons George V in Paris, after which she received her diploma in French patisserie and bread baking in 2011. Working for over a decade in bakeries and pastry kitchens in central Texas, she is well-versed in both French and American pastry technique, is passionate about using quality local organic ingredients, and loves teaching and sharing her pastry knowledge.
