The Magic of Dough — Pizza, Pockets & Monkey Bread - Cook Along! Gr 3-12

Discover the fun of making your own dough from scratch! In this hands-on cooking class, young chefs will learn how simple ingredients can be transformed into delicious homemade favorites. Students will prepare a quick homemade dough and use it to create savory garlic knots, customizable personal pizzas, calzones, or hot pocket-style creations. We’ll practice mixing, kneading, shaping, filling, and baking while learning how dough becomes the foundation for so many different foods. To finish the class, we’ll turn the same dough skills into a sweet treat: cinnamon monkey bread! Youth cooking classes feature vegetarian recipes to allow students to focus on kitchen skills, safe food preparation, and building confidence with cooking techniques in a classroom environment. Recipes are designed to be fun, approachable, and appropriate for young chefs of all experience levels.
