We're inviting you to come learn how to bake traditional Lucia buns just in time for Lucia! During the dark and cold Swedish winters, Lucia and her procession bring light, warmth, and Lucia buns to people on December 13 in one of Sweden's oldest traditions.

This workshop is 100 % hands-on and you will be mixing, kneading, hand-shaping, and proofing your yeasted dough.

Your baking instructor Jessica Lantz is a Stockholm-native who honed her culinary skills in Sweden and abroad. After attending culinary school, Jessica was a private chef on an Italian sailboat and refined her professional skills as a baker on the Åland Islands. Since 2016, Jessica has delighted the United States with her delectable Swedish baked goods, showcasing her expertise as the proud owner of her home bakery Swedish Bakes and American Cakes, specializing in treats like kanelbullar and prinsesstårtor.

Y ou will get

- A box to bring home your hand-shaped Lucia buns so you can bake them at home after the dough has risen (it takes a long time for yeasted dough to rise)

- The recipe and the knowledge on how to recreate the buns at home

- Best expert tricks regarding how to make the Lucia bun dough

- A " fika" break with something sweet and coffee/tea

Fika is an important part of Swedish culture. It means making time for friends and colleagues and to share a cup of coffee or tea and a sweet little something to eat. Many Swedes consider it almost essential to make time for fika every day!
