The Asheville Kitchen

Join us as we explore how to make a BABKA, the delectable sweet yeasted bread, typically braided and swirled with a rich chocolate or cinnamon filling. In this class, you’ll learn the basic techniques for making a soft, buttery brioche dough along with two classic babka fillings – chocolate and cinnamon. After learning different shaping methods, you’ll roll and braid your very own babka to bake in class. You’ll also leave with some extra dough and filling for making a second babka creation at home. During class, there will be plenty of babka for you to enjoy.

Join us as we whip up a vibrant Middle Eastern brunch spread. To start, we’ll prepare a shakshuka, a one-pan vegetarian dish of eggs poached in a simmering, gently spiced tomato and pepper sauce that will pair beautifully with a fattoush salad tossed with a zesty sumac vinaigrette and warm, homemade pita bread. To finish things off on a sweet note, we’ll bake a basbousa, a moist semolina cake soaked in a rosewater simple syrup.
