Join Chef Alex Peña, a California native, a former Marine, a passionate Master Baker, trained culinary chef, and a professional bread scientist for a Rosca de Reyes Masterclass.
Rosca de Reyes is a sweet bread that has deep roots in Spanish symbolism and is traditionally enjoyed on January 6th during the epiphany. Learn to make this "king’s crown", including mastering the exciting decorating process of sugar paste and candied fruits that symbolize jewels. Plus, the surprise in this recipe is the baby figurine hidden within the dough, only to be discovered by the person who has the honor to host a tamaleada (tamale party), on February 2nd (Candleman’s Day).
Students will learn about the significance behind the Rosca de Reyes and its decorations. They will be taught about the techniques and can take three roscas home. While the yeast raised dough rises, the students will make Coricos de Maiz, a traditional corn cookie native to the state of Sinaloa, Mexico.
The students will take home a variety of celebratory pan dulce to share with friends and family.
