Viennoiserie

Program Overview

Discover the art of viennoiserie—the delicate craft of laminated pastries that sits between bread and pastry, known for its buttery layers, crisp exterior, and soft, airy interior.

In this hands-on Viennoiserie Bootcamp, you’ll build a strong foundation in the techniques behind classics like croissants, pain au chocolat, and more. Learn the precision of dough preparation, butter lamination, fermentation, and shaping—where temperature, timing, and technique are everything.

This workshop focuses on developing the skill and discipline needed to achieve perfectly flaky layers, proper proofing, and consistent results.
