Breads 101

*This class contains nuts and tons of gluten in the recipes.

Making bread from scratch is a unique experience.  What you purchase at the supermarket is nothing compared to real homemade bread.  The texture of the dough, the smell of the yeast, the sight of bread rising while it proofs, and the pure pleasure of the bread baking cannot be bought at the store.  In this workshop, The Cookery chefs will teach out favorite basic bread recipe, but, in addition, we will show how to do much more than just basic bread.  We will turn that basic recipe into amazing creations like Herbed Dinner Rolls, Cream Cheese and Chicken Stuffed Bombs, Homemade Orange-Glazed Cinnamon Rolls, Braided Almond Coffee Cake, and Sausage Bread.  While our bread proofs, we will fill our time with come together quick breads like Blueberry Muffins with Streusel Topping, Pumpkin Muffins with Oats, and Roasted Jalapeno Cheddar Cornbread. Did we mention we remove all of the calories here at The Cookery? Just kidding, see you in class!

Please note: menu is subject to change based on product availability and size of the class.

We will do our best to make our classes as educational and fun as ever.  Class ending times may vary. Please wear closed-toed shoes and wear your hair up off your shoulders.  Bring  a beverage to drink if you wish. We will also provide aprons. We will have filtered water to drink. Byob if you wish.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION – PLEASE READ: If you have any symptoms of COVID 19, Influenza, or other illness, or have been around someone with symptoms we are asking that you please stay home and find someone to replace your ticket. We reserve the right to send any attendees home if we suspect illness. This is for the safety of our employees and customers. Thank you for supporting us during this challenging time!

REFUND POLICY – Our classes are popular and often sell out!  You must cancel your registration at least 5 days in advance of the class date to receive the opportunity to raincheck your tickets to another class (there is a fee to do so). We do not offer refunds for any reason, including Covid related issues. There is a $25 fee (per ticket) to raincheck your tickets to another future class, which is due at the time that you move your tickets. You can raincheck your tickets by calling the school at 309-263-6020 or by emailing us your request to raincheck at thecookeryinc@gmail.com.  Tickets canceled the day before or on the day of class will not receive a refund or rain check opportunity for any reason (even Covid / exposure related – we simply cannot accommodate for this).  You may gift or sell your tickets to someone else (for no fee) if you are not able to come- this is the best option if you have to cancel.

If you have a cardboard gift card with a 3-digit number and want to redeem it for this class, you must call or email to reserve your class spot prior to the class selling out.  If you reserve your spot with a gift card and do not show, you will forfeit the amount owed for the class from your gift card. To cash in your cardboard gift card, contact us at thecookeryinc@gmail.com

If your gift card has a 16-digit code, you can cash it in online when you purchase your ticket.  Codes are case sensitive and require the dash marks to be entered to process the code.

We reserve the right to cancel classes for any reason. Class cancellations will receive a credit to a future class.
