Rise Up: Understanding Yeast with Cortney - $125 per person 

In this beginner bread class, we’ll demystify the magic behind what makes bread rise — yeast! You’ll learn how this tiny living ingredient creates big flavor, texture, and lift, all while baking three delicious (and approachable) breads that showcase different styles of leavening. We’ll start with Beer Bread, a quick, no-yeast loaf that uses carbonation and baking powder to rise — perfect for understanding the basics. Then we’ll move to soft, pillowy Dinner Rolls, where you’ll get hands-on experience working with fast-acting yeast, kneading, proofing, and shaping. Finally, we’ll finish with Focaccia, an olive oil-rich Italian bread that shows how fermentation time adds incredible flavor and airy texture. Along the way, you’ll build confidence in reading dough, learn to tell when it’s ready to bake, and take home the skills to make any bread rise to the occasion. This class will be taught in our workshop format. You will share a station with a partner to make your recipe/s and share the bounty. Each person will leave with a small loaf of beer bread, 4 dinner rolls and a small loaf of focaccia. This class is vegetarian.
