A 3-hour baking class focused on Bavaria's beloved pastry tradition: homemade Apfelstrudel (apple strudel), Dampfnudeln (steamed yeast dumplings), and Kaiserschmarrn (shredded pancakes). Learn to stretch strudel pastry paper-thin in the traditional technique.
The Bavarian Cake and Strudel Baking Class is a 3-hour session held in a Munich baking kitchen, focused on Bavaria's pastry tradition rather than savoury cooking. Participants prepare homemade Apfelstrudel, Dampfnudeln steamed yeast dumplings, and Kaiserschmarrn shredded pancakes, learning the traditional technique for stretching strudel pastry paper-thin by hand; the class is entirely sweet, covering three distinct dessert styles rather than a single recipe. The price includes all ingredients, recipe cards to take home, and coffee and cake at the conclusion, but does not include transport to the kitchen or additional refreshments beyond what is provided. Groups are limited to between 4 and 10 participants, instruction runs in English, and the pace allows time to practise the strudel-stretching technique before moving to the next dish. Dietary substitutions for gluten or egg allergies should be discussed when booking, since all three recipes rely on wheat flour and eggs.
