Step into the world of viennoiserie at Yahelis in Berlin and discover the techniques behind flaky pastries, laminated doughs, and soft yeast-based bakes. Led by an expert chef-patissier, this hands-on workshop invites you to choose from three baking experiences, each focused on a different style of dough and pastry. Whether you want to master puff pastry, shape croissants and Danishes, or work with enriched yeast dough for challah and rogallach, this workshop offers a practical introduction in a warm and welcoming studio setting.
Your experience begins at the Yahelis studio in Berlin, where you’ll be introduced to your selected class and the core techniques behind the dough you’ll be making. Depending on the option booked, you may learn how to laminate dough for croissants and Danishes, fold puff pastry for sweet and savoury bakes, or knead and proof yeast dough for braided breads and filled pastries. Throughout the session, the chef guides you step by step, helping you understand texture, structure, shaping, and baking methods while sharing practical tips you can use again at home.
As the workshop continues, you’ll shape, fill, and bake a variety of pastries or breads in a relaxed and social kitchen environment. The aromas of warm butter, fresh dough, and baked pastries fill the room as your creations come together. Printed recipes are included, making it easy to revisit the techniques later. This experience is suitable for beginners and baking enthusiasts alike, with plenty of opportunities to ask questions and enjoy the process of learning by doing.
At the end of the workshop, you’ll pack your baked creations into a box to take home. You’ll leave with new baking skills, a deeper understanding of viennoiserie and dough-making, and a fresh batch of handmade pastries or breads.
