One of Otto's historic and most famous courses in the kitchen is the basic puff pastry course in 3 lessons which, under the expert guidance of teacher Vera Piler, allows you to achieve a very high qualification. To satisfy the many requests of students who do not live in Bologna or those who have little time, we thought of offering a course in just one day. A 7-hour "full immersion" on puff pastry and tortellino to learn this ancient Bolognese art. Each student will have their own station to be able to learn as best as possible and immediately put into practice the preparations of the course which will focus on the rolling pin puff pastry and the perfect tortellino even at home. Our method is now well-tested: a series of infallible "moves" to better memorize all the steps and make the various pasta shapes. Theoretical part: eggs and flour: which flour to use, the right eggs to use dough: right quantities, resting and conservation times how/when to use the pastry for the various pasta shapes: drying times how to store the various shapes of pasta in the fridge/freezer Practical part: Dough of approximately 1 kg of puff pastry How to roll out the pastry with a rolling pin (3 sheets of 500 g per student) Cutting tagliatelle, narrow > how to make tagliatelle nests Strichetti and garganelli, maltagliati and quadrucci Tortelloni: how to make the filling, the importance of raw materials > cutting, filling and closing Tortellini: how to make the filling, the importance of raw materials > cutting, filling and sealing The cost of the course includes the midday break.
