You will learn to make iconic pastries such as the butter croissant and pain au chocolat, along with Chef Lauren’s signature creations, including flaky Basque cheesecake croissants with fall fruits, pistachio croissant sticks, and cross-laminated reuben pain suisse.

Throughout the course, you’ll explore variables such as fold combinations, flour types, butter temperature, and dough hydration, and understand how these factors impact lamination.
