This class is suitable for anyone who enjoys focaccia and wants to learn how to make focaccia and pesto. You will have fun!

Embark on a culinary journey through Italy with our interactive baking class, where you’ll learn to craft two aromatic and flavorful focaccia breads. Whether you’re a seasoned baker or new to the kitchen, this course will guide you through the process of making artisanal focaccia, perfect for any occasion.

Course Highlights:

  • Pesto & Artichoke Focaccia: Blend the rich flavors of homemade pesto and tangy artichokes into a soft, olive oil-infused focaccia.

Please share any special considerations (medical, physical, learning) that will help your instructor make your class accessible and accommodating for you. You can share these considerations when register or by emailing Sean at sean@sonomacommunitycenter.org.

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 Center is committed to creating such an environment because it brings out the fullest potential in each of us, which, in turn, contributes directly to creating a community of belonging.
