Savory Pies

2 pasties sit above 2 knish on a baking sheet atop a marble counter.

Let's bake pastry pies for dinner! In this class, we'll delve into a few of the delicious savory pies found in just about every culture. We'll make Potato Knishes, a Jewish staple in Eastern Europe;  Beef Pasties, served up by the thousands in Michigan's Upper Peninsula (but originating in England) and Spanish Pork Empanadas. We'll teach you how to make a flaky pasty dough, tender knish dough and traditional lard empanada dough.  You'll learn to make the accompanying fillings and get practice hand-forming each of your little savory "pies." 

You'll leave the BAKE! class with our recipes, the knowledge to recreate them at home, and all the pasties, knishes, and empanadas you made in class.

Virtual: We will only be making the Beef Pasties and Potato Knishes.

In-Person: We'll end class with a tasting of what we made and you'll go home with some great coupons.
