Join MasterChef Canada alum Mai Nguyen to explore the techniques behind creating soft, chewy pretzels from scratch. Begin by mixing and kneading a yeasted dough, learning how gluten development contributes to structure and chewiness. While the dough rises, Mai will demonstrate how to prepare flavourful Sausage Rolls using store-bought Puff Pastry, accompanied by a warm, savoury Beer Cheese for dipping. You will then return to your dough to practise rolling, twisting, and shaping before giving your pretzels their signature lye bath and baking them to a deep golden finish. The class concludes with a tasting of your creations, with plenty to take home—please bring a container for leftovers.
