Spend the Day with Us: A Hands-On Lamination Workshop at Terroir Bakery
Join us at Terroir Artisan Bakery for an immersive, full-day laminated pastry workshop inside our new brick-and-mortar space—a warm, purpose-built bakery and teaching kitchen rooted in local farms and sustainable food practices. Together, we’ll explore the craft of laminated pastry using vibrant, freshly milled flours, seasonal organic produce, and our living wild yeast culture.
We’ll begin the day with introductions and foundational theory, followed by several hours of hands-on learning. You’ll learn to mix croissant dough, laminate yesterday’s dough, shape pastries, and proof them to perfection. We’ll bake off our creations in our state-of-the-art ovens and show you how to adapt the techniques to your home kitchen. Lunch will be provided!
