Master the art of the pie crust at a pie crust workshop!
submitted by Laura Wohlgemuth, Manchester District Library event coordinator
Just in time for Thanksgiving, Manchester District Library invites bakers of all ages and skill levels to roll up their sleeves for a hands-on Pie Crust Workshop with Chef Keegan Rodgers of The Lakehouse Bakery in Chelsea. The free workshop will take place on Thursday, November 19, at 6pm in the City Room.
For many home bakers, making the perfect pie crust can be intimidating. Whether it’s a crust that turns out tough, shrinks in the oven, becomes soggy on the bottom, or falls apart before reaching the pie pan, nearly everyone has experienced a pie-making mishap. But according to Chef Rodgers, creating a delicious, flaky pie crust requires far less skill than most people think!
During this interactive workshop, participants will learn the secrets behind successful pie dough, including the importance of temperature, resting time, and a few simple techniques that can make all the difference. Chef Rodgers will guide attendees through the process of making their own batch of all-butter pie dough entirely from scratch.
Best of all, everyone will leave with their own freshly prepared dough, wrapped and ready to take home for Thanksgiving baking! Participants will also receive recipes to keep and plenty of helpful tips for avoiding common pie crust mistakes.
All ingredients, bowls, and equipment will be provided, and no previous baking experience is necessary. Guests are encouraged to bring their questions and even share stories of their greatest pie-baking disasters!
