Howard's Apple Strudel

Join Howard Middleton (GBBO contestant from series 4) live from Sheffield who will teach you the skills you need to bake his delicious Apple Strudel, the classic Austrian dessert. 

This class takes place on Saturday 25th May  at the following times:

9am PT / 11am CT / 12pm ET / 5pm UK BST

Please allow up to 2 hours for this class.

In this class you'll be making your very own paper-thin strudel dough from scratch, so this really is a class to 'stretch' your baking skills! Your Strudel will encase a scrumptious traditional apple filling, giving you a taste of the European pastry scene. 

Bake With A Legend Online Classes are an interactive experience, where we limit group sizes to around 25 to ensure an intimate online setting. Not only do you have your celebrity baker teaching you, but you also have one of our brilliant Bake With A Legend hosts who will ensure the smooth running of your experience ensuring everyone is enjoying themselves.

If you need any help at any point during the class, you’ll be encouraged to raise your hand and your baker will be virtually joining you in your own kitchen in no time to assist you!

You’ll bake along in tandem with Howard, learning many tips and tricks a long the way as you perfect all the skills required to make Howard's delicious take on the classic Austrian Dessert. Howard will also be on hand to answer your questions, be those about baking or his experiences of being involved on such an iconic television show.
