Daily program

Day 1 - Choux pastry class

• Chocolate and coffee eclair
• Cheese Gougere
• Pastry dough for the following day

Bruno will tell you about the different pastries you can make with the choux pastry and the various fillings and flavors you can use. You'll proceed to make the pastry dough and also make a pastry cream that you will flavor with two different flavors. You'll then make the cheese Gougeres with part of the pastry dough wich are savory cheese puffy bites that can also be filled with thick bechamel if desired.

He will also give you ideas for what cheese to choose but also how to make mini savory canapes with it. You will then make the pastry dough for the following day as it needs to rest overnight in the fridge.

Day 2 - Classic French tarts

• Salted butter caramel and chocolate tart
• Seasonal fruit frangipane tarte
• Tarte au citron

You will make three delicious tarts out of one lot of pastry dough, and you start by making salted butter caramel, chocolate ganache, to fill Bruno's award-winning (UK's great taste award) salted butter caramel and chocolate tart with two distinct layers including the perfect gooey caramel hidden layer.

Next, he will demonstrate how to make a frangipane that also can be used in other bakes and garnish with apples or seasonal fruits to suit the mood. The third is another french classic, and you'll make the dreamiest lemon filling after showing you how to blind bake the pastry dough.

This cooking course is conducted online. Bruno Breillet is based in France (CEST, GMT +2), and he will live-stream the classes via Zoom. You can participate from the comfort of your home by just using your phone or computer.
