Bread 101Even with all the great bread available in the Napa Valley, there is little more satisfying than the smell bread from your own oven and the meditative feeling of shaping the dough with your hands.

On the Friday evening we will be hands on in the dough, making doughs for an overnight “retard” to increase the flavor and dough development. Saturday morning, we will learn the art of shaping, scoring and baking.

You say “Bastilla” I say “B’Steeya”…Bastilla, perhaps the best known of Moroccan dishes, has at least six different variations in its spelling alone! (e.g., Bastilla Bes-tilla B’steeya Bisteeya, Bistayla, Pastilla) Mid-eastern food often includes unusual combinations of sweet and savory flavors with a complex blending of herbs and spices. Classic Bastilla is made with ras al hanout, eggs and squab, wrapped in phyllo dough and dusted with cinnamon sugar. However, as well as the classic, today’s class will venture into some of the lesser known dishes: Sea-food Bisteeya of Essouria and the classic Bisteeya of Marrakeh and sweet Fig and Apple Bisteeya. The countless variations may be made large for family-style dining, and they may be made into smaller “triangles,” just the right size to serve as an appetizer. In this hands-on class, each student will be making a variation, also the the opportunity to learn more about working with phyllo and the traditional Moroccan pastry called “warka.”#62044 Aug 13$75 Upper Valley Campus Kitchen Sat, 10:30am-2pm, Woytisek
