Teens at Whisk – The Art of Puff Pastry – 5 Day Camp

This 5 day camp is designed for teens age 13+

MONDAY, August 12th to FRIDAY, August 16th

FROM 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM, Everyday

In this 5 day, hands-on camp, Chef Hend Yahya will demystify the art of puff pastry. Your teen will roll up their sleeves and learn to make two types of puff pastry dough: rough pastry dough and laminated dough.  Rough pastry incorporates chunks of butter into dough whereas laminated dough has many alternating layers of butter and dough. When baked, both types of dough create layers of flaky goodness. Puff pastry is used for making numerous baked goods, both sweet and savory.  Besides learning all the ins and outs of making laminated and rough pastry dough, your teen will bake their way through croissants, tarts, sweet and savory danishes and other puff pastry delights.
