Join this fun and interactive cooking class and learn how to make focaccia bread from scratch. Focaccia is a flat Italian bread that can be flavored with different herbs, cheeses, and toppings. In this class, you will make three kinds of focaccia: sea salt focaccia, which is great for making sandwiches; sage and parmesan focaccia, which adds a touch of elegance to any meal; and pesto and artichoke focaccia, which is a delicious appetizer or snack. You will learn how to knead, shape, and bake your own focaccia bread and enjoy the fruits of your labor at the end of the class along with a wine pairing.

When you register for a class, you’ll be offered three price tiers. The middle tier comes closest to what our registration fees used to be, and covers about 50% of the full cost of your participation in the class – with the other 50% covered by community donations. The first tier creates accessibility for people with limited income, while the third tier covers the full cost of participation – so that we can use community donations to support other people’s registration costs. When you choose to register at the third tier, you directly help support the Center’s efforts to remove financial barriers for others.
The Sonoma Community Center (the Center) strives to create an inclusive, safe community where everyone is treated with dignity and respect.
