Join Massimiliano Liberatore, a world renowned expert in Italian lievitati, for his first-ever teaching engagement in Los Angeles. In collaboration with King Arthur Baking, this intensive three-day masterclass combines hands-on baking with in-depth theory, using American-milled flour and traditional Italian techniques.
Drawing on years of experience working with master bakers and teaching internationally himself, Massimiliano will guide participants through his philosophy of “the Context”—understanding and respecting your parameters to achieve consistent, successful results. You will learn how to properly manage and feed pasta madre to produce optimal fermentation, flavor, and texture.
Throughout the course, Massimiliano will demonstrate how to create classic Italian breads with the characteristic structure and flavor of the highest level. The products covered will include Classic Panettone, Chocolate Panettone, Coffeettone, Saltytone, as well as Pandoro made using the traditional three-dough system.
