Twist & Shout: A Virtual Pretzel Making Class

Get ready to twist, bake, and snack in this fun and interactive virtual soft pretzel-making class. A perfect online activity for team-building, client appreciation, or cosy seasonal events!

In this 90-minute virtual cooking class pretzels, you’ll learn how to make soft pretzels from scratch, guided by an experienced and friendly host. Participants will mix and knead dough, shape their own pretzels, dip them in a traditional soda bath, and top them with a variety of savoury or sweet toppings.

This online pretzel-making workshop is ideal for all skill levels, whether you’re a beginner baker or a snack lover just looking for a good time. Your host keeps the session light and engaging, with time for questions, conversation, and optional icebreaker moments to keep everyone connected.

Choose to have pretzel ingredient kits delivered directly to guests’ homes, or book a BYO (bring your own ingredients) experience for more flexibility. Most dietary requirements can be catered to, including vegan, vegetarian, and dairy-free options (please note: gluten-free kits are not available due to dough consistency).

This feel-good virtual cooking class is a unique way to bring people together through creativity, comfort food, and shared experiences, perfect for remote teams, virtual celebrations, or foodie groups looking to connect.

OUR STANDARD EVENT FORMAT:

–> Your expert host will welcome everyone to the session, introduce the experience, and walk through the ingredients and equipment needed to make soft pretzels from scratch.
–> Once everyone is prepped, you’ll activate the yeast and mix the dough, with your host guiding you step-by-step, whether using a stand mixer or doing it by hand.
–> While the dough rests and rises, you’ll have time to clean your workspace, preheat the oven, prepare your toppings, and enjoy a light-hearted chat hosted by your guide.
–> Next up: shaping! You’ll learn the classic pretzel twist, but you are also welcome to get creative with shapes like hearts, letters, or pretzel nuggets.
–> Then it’s time for the soda bath and toppings, guests will dip their shaped pretzels and add savoury or sweet toppings before they go in the oven.
–> While the first batch bakes, you’ll get started on shaping the second. Once baked, sweet pretzels can be brushed with butter and sprinkled with cinnamon sugar or other finishes.
–> Finally, enjoy the first taste of your warm, fresh-baked pretzels together, snap a group photo, and chat through any questions or reflections.
–> Your host will wrap up the session and drop off the event link, but guests are welcome to stay and keep the conversation going afterwards.

Our events can be tailored to suit your requirements, just ask!
