Cruffin-Making Masterclass 01/11/2026

Join us for a pastry masterclass exploring one of the most tempting yeast-dough desserts: cruffins. We’ll work with dough prepared in advance so we can focus on the key techniques involved in making cruffins: shaping, laminating, baking and filling. We’ll also go through the entire process from the very beginning to understand how a cruffin is made and why each step affects the final result.

We’ll pay special attention to the three-day fermentation and lamination process. Step by step, we’ll cover dough development and resting, cold fermentation, and laminating with butter, so you can understand how to create fine, elastic, well-defined layers. We’ll discuss temperature, timing and how the dough should feel, as these details determine whether the cruffin turns out airy, light and beautifully layered.

We’ll also practise shaping cruffins: how to roll out and laminate the dough correctly, form the signature spiral and prepare the dough for baking. You’ll learn how to tell when the dough is ready for the next stage and how to avoid common mistakes that can affect its layers and shape. Once shaped, the cruffins will be baked until they have a beautiful golden crust and a light, airy interior.

Then comes one of the most delicious parts of the masterclass: filling. We’ll look at different filling options and practise filling the baked cruffins while preserving their beautiful structure and delicate texture.

This masterclass is especially suited to those who want not only to bake a beautiful cruffin, but also to truly understand how it is made. Since preparing the dough and completing the full fermentation cycle takes several days, we’ll use dough prepared in advance, but work through the entire three-day process in a practical, easy-to-understand way so you can repeat the technique in your own kitchen. We’ll neatly package the baked cruffins for you to take home.
