What you'll do

During this online baking class, I will teach you, step by step, how to prepare a traditional sweet leavened (sourdough) pastry - in Slovak called koláč. I want this class to be as interactive as possible with YOU being able to bake, learn, and make the most of it. That's why I'll send you a list of ingredients, equipment needed, and baking timeline before we start an actual online class so that you have everything needed for the baking and you can manage your schedule accordingly. We'll start by explaining a bit about ingredients we're going to use, with a focus on yeasts as we're going to work with a yeast-based dough. We will divide this class into two "sessions"- in the first one we'll prepare a dough and give it a time to rest (prove) and in the meantime, we'll prepare fillings. Then we proceed with shaping, filling,​ and baking. I'll show you how to prepare both traditional kolache and babka from the same dough. I will provide you with an exact recipe after our class so you can focus fully on baking. If a time slot doesn't​ suit you, send me a message so we can make it work.

Lenka

Hello, fellow bread lovers :) My name is Lenka and my love for baking goes back to days when I was as a small girl helping my grandma to knead the dough on her knees. There was never a weekend we would not bake cakes and pastries, all from ingredients growing in our backyard. Beautiful memories of my childhood in Slovakia revive anytime I knead that sourdough, wrap in my favorite fillings, and smell a sweet flavor coming from the oven. I share my baking passion on my blog www.wandering-senses.com, and my baking tips&trick on @wandering_senses and now I decided to share my passion with those willing to learn how to make some delicious traditional Slovak and Eastern European pastries here on Airbnb Check on amazing pastries baked by my Airbnb students in highlights at @wandering_senses (BakingClasses)
