What to expect

As you step into our warm, aromatic bakery, we will greet you with an apron and a homemade treat of your choice. Then the lessons begin! Depending on the day and time, you will have the opportunity to learn personal recipes and master techniques for a wide variety of our handmade baked goods, from our renowned sourdough bread created with my own starter to traditional Greek cookies and pitas. I will take you through the baking process from the very beginning - choosing the right, high quality ingredients - all the way through to tasting the finished products. You will learn why certain ingredients are added at specific times, how water and air temperature affect the outcome, why we make certain breads or cookies for specific Greek holidays and traditions, and why I love baking and nurturing my village. Zitsa truly is a magical place and while we work we can share stories about our different cultures, and life in the village in general .And of course when we finish, we get to share in eating what we've made.
Other things to note:
