What we’re baking this month…

Maritozzi – These Italian pastries are a light, fluffy, sweet bun, filled with a mascarpone cream. The dough is similar to brioche, but olive oil is used instead of butter. It also has an addition of fresh orange zest, giving this bread a similar flavor to cardamom buns.

These are so perfect for breakfast or a special sweet treat. Add any topping you love, like powdered sugar, pistachios, or chocolate.

You’ll feel like such a baking pro when you make these!

This month’s Zoom:

Friday, August 22nd, 10:00 am Pacific Time.

“This is what I’ve always needed!…
“It has helped me to be more confident with baking bread. In the past I would try new recipes and often fail because I didn’t quite understand all the particulars of bread making…I appreciate the videos and detailed explanations of the WHY behind certain techniques.”
-Brittny H.
“Heather is an incredible baker and teacher…
Heather, I cannot thank you enough for the detail in your videos. I am new to sourdough making and these classes were a life saver!! I tried other recipes and … After taking your class I know all the things I did wrong. This has been life changing!”
Becki
“I was always afraid to try making bread until I took Heather’s classes…
Heather explains things so well and I finally feel like I understand break making. I feel confident to keep on learning and exploring more recipes, and I’m having fun doing it!”
Tammy
