Easter Pascha Bread Making Class!!

Adult From-Scratch Baking Class

Have you always wanted to make your own Pascha — but never felt sure where to start?

In this 4-hour hands-on class, you’ll learn how to make Pascha from scratch — mixing, kneading, rising, and shaping your dough by hand.

Each participant will make two full loaves.
One loaf will bake fresh during class.
One loaf will go home ready to bake for Easter morning.

We’ll finish the warm bread with browned butter — just like my mom always did.

You’ll leave with:
• Two homemade loaves
• A printed recipe
• The confidence to make your own Pascha again and again
