November 3rd
11:30 - 2:30 p.m.
Join Nicole in her kitchen and learn the fundamentals of building flaky, layered puff pastry from scratch using the rough‑puff method, a technique that delivers impressive lift and crispness without the complexity of traditional laminated dough. By the end of class, you’ll understand the mechanics behind puff pastry, feel confident shaping it into multiple forms, and leave with techniques you can apply to countless French pastries.
We’ll use our dough to create two beautiful, seasonal, bakery‑worthy pastries:
Spiced Apple Turnovers — Practice cutting, shaping, sealing, and venting while working with a warmly spiced apple filling. You’ll learn how to balance moisture so the turnovers bake crisp, not soggy, and how to achieve deep golden color without overbaking.
Savory Palmiers — Explore the savory side of puff pastry with perfectly crisp, buttery palmiers. You’ll master the tight roll, even slicing, and controlled baking that gives palmiers their signature crunch and caramelized edges. Palmiers have endless variations and make an excellent appetizer to keep in the freezer for all your holiday entertaining!
ALLERGY INFO: Wheat/Gluten, eggs, dairy (menu subject to change without notice due to product availability)
IMPORTANT INFORMATION: This class is being held in Nicole’s Kitchen, located in the community of Vintage Oaks in New Braunfels. Attendees will receive a reminder email one week prior to class with address/directions and other important information (be sure to check your spam folder if you do not receive it).
