Brioche is one of the most versatile doughs when it comes to creating new bakery products. We will make two mother doughs and with different fermentations and shaping will create savory and sweet items to offer in your bakery or home.

We will be making breakfast egg bialy sandwiches, fresh fruit pull-aparts, Nutella-filled pastries, cocoa puff miniloaf, kugelhopf, raisin brioche twist and roasted vegetable savory bread pudding.

In the late 1980’s Leslie caught what she calls “bread fever,” immersing herself in recipe testing and experimentation. Today all of Seattle is familiar with Macrina’s irresistible artisan breads.
