Buchteln are Vienna’s most honest pastry: no decoration, no tricks, just yeast dough, jam and patience. Which is exactly where most people fail at home. In our Buchteln baking class in Vienna, seniors show you how yeast dough should feel in your hands, when it has been kneaded enough, and why you must never rush it.
Put on your apron, take a coffee or tea, say hello. Your baking grandma or grandpa tells you where the family recipe comes from.
Everyone bakes, nobody just watches. Mixing, kneading, filling, arranging the pan, with plenty of talking while the dough rises.
While the Buchteln are in the oven there are snacks and drinks. Then everyone tastes together, warm and dusted with icing sugar.
Your own Buchteln go into a grandma cake box, and the recipe comes with you as a certificate.
The class takes place at the Vollpension baking studio at Mariahilfer Straße 101 in Vienna’s 6th district and is held in German and in English. No previous experience needed.
A baking class with a grandma is a gift that stays: an afternoon spent together, a craft passed on, and a whole pan of Buchteln you made yourself at the end of it. Vouchers are available for all our classes and can be redeemed for whichever date suits.
