Virtual Bread Making Classes & Schools

If you live in New York but don’t feel like commuting to an in-person class, consider taking an online bread making class. Online classes provide many of the benefits of an in-person class but you can take the entire course from the comfort of your home. It’s a great option for those with busy schools or if you live too far away from the in-person class’s location. 

One of the best online bread making classes is the virtual Bagel Workshop from Home Cooking New York. While you’re taking the class, you’ll learn to knead, roll, boil, and bake authentic NYC style bagels. You’ll be taught by chef-instructor Erica Wides. By the end of the class, you’ll make a dozen hand-rolled bagels or assorted flavors. 

You’ll need to have all of the materials and flavors ready before the start of the class so you can fully take part in the virtual classroom. If you have any questions about what you need, feel free to reach out. The class focuses on teaching bagel-making skills so you can recreate New York bagels.

Another class option is the Virtual Bread Baking 101 class from Eve Bergazyn. During the class, you’ll learn how to combine salt, water, yeast, and flour into warm, crusty, and chewy breads. You’ll be guided by your live instructor on how to create several classic breads. To fully participate, you’ll need to bring your own ingredients, including active dry yeast, flour, olive oil, honey, salt, sugar, and more. 

You will also need to have several tools ready in the kitchen, including a small whisk, measuring cups, bowls, sheet pans, wire racks, and more. The teacher specifically recommends having a KitchenAid with a hook or hands mixer, but it’s not required. You’ll be able to interact with the teacher, ask questions, and get feedback on your technique. 

The Chopping Block on Lincoln Square offers a Virtual Cook Along: Phyllo Workshop. Phyllo dough is a light and flakey dough that you can use to make pastries and desserts.
