Mixing and Shaping

Mixing and Shaping

We will mix and shape the dough by hand. This is a multi step process where the ingredients are added slowly and the dough is given plenty of time to rest


Shaping ( Pirlatura)

We will shape the Panettone by hand, I will give you plenty of guidance on how to do it, so that you will feel confident to handle your dough


Scarpatura

Scarpatura

This is very exciting bit. This is the Italian word for peeling the top of the Panettone and place little pieces of butter before in the dough to keep it soft during baking


Upside down post baking rest

Upside Down Post Baking Rest

After baking in the oven the Panettone has to rest upside down. We will use stitching needles ( I know this class is full few of surprises) to support it.

Panettone is serious business in Italy. Every Christmas, families gather around the table and spend hours debating whose Panettone is better, which bakery got it right this year. It is such a big deal, in fact, that there are words in Italian that exist specifically to describe the making of Panettone. Now you can make your own, the authentic way, guided by an Italian who has been practising every Christmas for the past few years.
In this hands-on baking class in Hampstead, you will bake together with me and learn the real process behind Italy's most celebrated festive bake. From mixing and developing the dough to the "pirlatura, " the Italian shaping technique that gives Panettone its characteristic tall, domed form, and the "scarpatura, " the precise cut that opens up the top before baking.
You will go home with a Panettone ready to bake and with the knowledge to make it again. And next Christmas, you will be the culinary hero of family and friends.
This Panettone baking class in Hampstead is the perfect Christmas gift experience or festive treat for yourself, for anyone who loves Italian food, real baking, and the satisfaction of making something truly special from scratch.

I've been baking sourdough for 15 years, perfecting my loaves through classes, bakery work, and plenty of trial and error. After teaching family, friends, and colleagues, I'm now sharing my passion more widely with classes that take you from starter to loaf, so you can bake your own delicious sourdough at home.
