Holiday Breads

Join Chef Michele live online for a hands-on holiday bread baking class. You’ll learn three practical techniques perfect for gifting, holiday mornings, or prepping ahead.

Start by making oven-baked English muffins from scratch. You can shape them by hand or use English muffin rings if you have them. These homemade muffins are the perfect vessel for eggs Benedict—a holiday breakfast favorite. While they bake, you’ll work with a rich brioche dough. We’ll make the cinnamon roll filling together, then roll, fill, and shape the rolls to freeze and bake later. As a bonus, Chef Michele will share her frosting recipe—a customer favorite from her former bakery.

Chef Michele will also demo how to turn that same dough into soft dinner rolls for your holiday table. By the end of class, you’ll have fresh English muffins, freezer-ready cinnamon rolls, and clear steps to make them again anytime.
