The experts from King Arthur Flour are offering free baking demos this fall.

During “Perfect Pies & Tarts” demo attendees learn how to achieve the perfectly flaky pie crust, create a sweet and sturdy tart KAF_3c_fh_loshell, and prepare delicious fillings.  The “Sweet Yeast Bread” class covers a basic yeast dough recipe and techniques, from ingredients and mixing, to shaping everything from cinnamon rolls to decorative braided loaves. The two-hour demos include free recipes, coupons, and time to “talk baking” with the King Arthur staff – plus a chance to win some great baking-related door prizes.

No advanced registration. For additional details, visit King Arthur Flour by clicking here or calling 800.827.6836
