What to expect

Our Masterclasses are the perfect opportunity for you to master one particular dish or skill, all within a relaxed 3-hour class.

Making doughnuts involves lots of essential baking skills so is a great place to start. Our chefs will take you step-by-step through making a sweet, yeasted dough, kneading, proving and frying your doughnuts, plus how to make some classic fillings such as crème pâtissière or chocolate ganache.

Finishing class with a box of gorgeous, and delicious, doughnuts to take home, the hardest part will be deciding if you can bare to share them with anyone… at least you’ll have your recipes and techniques ready to bake them again and again.
