This is a recording of a class that originally took place on May 9, 2022. Take a deep dive into the world of lamination with baker and author Jimmy Griffin. This session focuses on the techniques and creative approaches that transform laminated dough from good to exceptional. You’ll explore the science behind clean, distinct layers; learn how to execute striking bicolored laminates; and see demonstrations of both traditional and modern shapes. We’ll also cover how to incorporate creative fillings without compromising lamination. The demo includes troubleshooting tips for common issues and plenty of practical insights you can take straight back to your kitchen.
