3 hours Location Tighes Hill Class size 1 to 8 (public classes), 8 to 12   $195 (Afterpay available)

Fill your kitchen with the irresistible aroma of freshly baked buns at our hot cross bun making class in Newcastle. Join us at The Yellow Door Kitchen for a hands-on baking experience where you’ll create two delicious varieties: sour cherry and double chocolate.
Learn the skills behind a beautifully soft, fluffy bun, from preparing and shaping enriched dough to adding the finishing touches. At the end of the class, you’ll take home half a dozen of each flavour—12 freshly baked hot cross buns to share with family and friends.
## What you’ll make
### Sour Cherry Hot Cross Buns
Enjoy a twist on a classic Easter favourite. These soft, spiced buns are filled with tangy sour cherries and finished with a traditional cross and a glossy glaze.
### Double Chocolate Hot Cross Buns
For chocolate lovers, these rich buns bring together a chocolate dough and chocolate pieces. Finished with a cross and glaze, they’re a treat to enjoy fresh or lightly toasted.
## What you’ll learn in our hot cross bun making class
Under the guidance of our pastry chef, you’ll learn the techniques involved in making enriched yeast dough and turning it into soft, beautifully shaped buns.
During the class, you’ll practise:
  • Preparing and working with enriched yeast dough.
  • Recognising when your dough has been kneaded and proved.
  • Incorporating sour cherries and chocolate into your dough.
  • Dividing and shaping your buns for an even bake.
  • Piping the traditional crosses and adding a finishing glaze.
You’ll also pick up practical baking tips to help you recreate your hot cross buns at home.
## Take home your freshly baked buns
Each guest will take home six sour cherry hot cross buns and six double chocolate hot cross buns. They’re perfect for sharing over Easter—or enjoying with a cup of tea and a little butter.
Whether you’re an enthusiastic home baker or would love to learn how to make your own Easter buns, our hot cross bun making class is a delicious way to create, connect, learn and share.

female Women-owned

The passion for baking and cooking started in childhood for Janet Newton during the long Christmas holidays she spent baking with a Czechoslovakian family friend, Irene. During this time, the family was provided with an endless supply of traditional tarts, slices, biscuits, and cakes.
The wonderful love of sharing food with family and friends was born out of these one-on-one cooking lessons and is the inspiration behind the opening of The Yellow Door Kitchen.
Janet trained as a Pastry Chef at the famous Le Cordon Bleu cooking school and has many years of experience working in restaurants and patisseries. Her ability to combine flavors and her passion for baking is infectious and will ensure students are transported into a wonderful, creative world of cooking during her classes.
