Booked the class Bake Classic Global Breads with Chef Donna in Carlsbad
I recently took this baking class hoping for a practical, hands-on learning experience, but I left disappointed with the overall format and structure. Rather than each participant mixing and kneading their own dough, the chef prepared one flatbread dough at the front while three of us simply watched. The remaining two doughs were already premade and proofing before class started, meaning our hands-on participation was limited to about two minutes of shaping before waiting for them to bake. While I understand that baking requires proofing time and time constraints are a factor, a much better setup would be to have participants mix their own dough from scratch to learn the feel and technique, while using pre-made doughs solely as back-ups for baking during the session. Additionally, when one of the focaccias didn't turn out as expected, the instructor became overly focused on the issue, which shifted the energy of the room away from teaching. If you are looking for a true "get your hands dirty" baking workshop where you practice mixing, kneading, and dough development yourself, this class as currently structured may not be the right fit.
