Saturday, December 10, 12:30 PM – 2:30 PM. Take & Bake: Panettone with Certified Executive Chef Barry Infuso. Cost: $75.00 per person. 

With Christmas and the New Year approaching, panettone, the Italian sweet bread originally from Milan, is showing up on store shelves. Made months in advance, preservatives keep it soft. Instead of buying it premade, join Certified Executive Chef Barry Infuso and learn how to make and bake it in a paper bag, proving fresh is best.

The flavors are so amazing, you’ll never purchase it readymade again. Light and fluffy, buttery and chock full of dried fruits, the yeast-leavened, mouth-watering bread is often thought of as dessert. Enjoy it with coffee, tea or mulled wine. It’s yummy toasted, too.

A freshly baked piece and a hot beverage will start the class and preview the deliciousness to come. Traditionally made with raisins and citron, you’ll customize your dough with choices of raisins, dried pineapple, apricots, cherries and candied citrus. You’ll take home enough dough to bake four 1 pound breads, enough to keep and give as gifts.
