Rosie's Danish Pastries

Join the brilliant Rosie Brandreth (GBBO, series 10) live to bake a selection of delicious Danish pastries, both sweet and savoury. In this class you'll learn to bake three classic Danish shapes, two sweet one savoury. A pinwheel goat cheese and caramelised onion Danish, an iced cinnamon spiral and a filled custard and raspberry diamond. The rich, laminated yeasted dough creates a uniquely indulgent breakfast pastry, we are however breaking slightly with tradition to make a savoury version which is equally scrumptious and makes for a perfect treat. 

The class starts at 8pm UK on Sunday 16th May 2021 and all you need is access to Zoom via a computer, an iPad or a phone and you'll be connected! We’ll start off the class with an introductory welcome and some background from Rosie's time on TV, before we ask you to put on your aprons & bake along as you watch Rosie demonstrate all the skills required to make these little treats. Our class will take around 2 hours as we bake our masterpieces, before you can tuck into the fruits of your labour all whilst hearing fantastic memories and stories from Rosie.
