Lamination Week Hero

Lamination Week

Immerse yourself in Rise Baking Lab's advanced lamination week, a deep dive into the intricate world of laminated doughs and viennoiserie.

About Lamination Week

This hands-on program is perfect for bakers of all skill levels, whether you're new to lamination or a seasoned professional looking to refine your techniques and learn advanced methods.

Please note the course will be demoing lamination on a professional sheeter and the Brod & Taylor manual sheeter, but will not focus on hand lamination.

Over the course of 5 days, you will master a variety of laminated doughs such as our classic croissant dough, black cocoa croissant dough, scalded buckwheat croissant dough, and sprouted rye croissant dough.

In addition to mastering the classics, you will delve into advanced techniques like bi-colour lamination, cross-lamination, and flavoured doughs.

Enrolment is capped at 6 students to ensure personalized instruction, allowing for plenty of hands-on practice and individual guidance.

Whether you're aiming to perfect your croissant or just exploring the world of laminated pastry, Lamination Week will leave you inspired and equipped to elevate your pastry-making skills.
