Doughnuts and coffee are a classic breakfast combination, but it's disappointing when you get a stale, flat doughnut or a weak cup of coffee. Making doughnuts at home can be a fun challenge for someone who bakes bread, since doughnut dough is simply enriched bread dough. In this cooking class, you will learn how to make yeasted doughnuts, New Orleans beignets, and Italian-American zeppoles. Each of these recipes requires knowing how to deep fry, so we will walk you through the step-by-step and review safety tips. When deep-frying, it's important to keep an eye on the oil temperature and adjust the heat as you fry. If the oil isn't hot enough, the doughnuts will absorb a lot of oil and become soggy; if the oil is too hot, the exterior of the doughnuts will cook before the insides are done.
In this cooking class you will also learn how to make a great cup of coffee. This class covers a few types of brewing methods. Cold brewing requires steeping the coffee grounds in water overnight, but the result is a smooth, less acidic coffee. We will also show you how to make pour-over coffee and coffee in a French press. The benefit to making your own coffee at home is that you can adjust the strength and roast to your tastes. Our recommended amount of coffee is 2 tablespoons per cup, but how much coffee you add really depends on how strong you like it.
