Focaccia Workshop in Old City — A Two-Person, Hands-On Afternoon with Antipasto and Wine.
Set in Philadelphia’s Old City, this intimate class from Old City Kitchen condenses the pleasures of artisan breadmaking into a focused, two-hour session: learn a simple, no-knead focaccia method, watch a demonstration, shape and decorate your own loaf, and enjoy the finished bread alongside a rich antipasto plate and complimentary beverages.

No-Knead Focaccia, High Reward
The class centers on a straightforward, no-knead approach that yields focaccia with a crusty exterior and soft, pillow-like crumb — a method designed to demystify breadmaking and make it accessible to home bakers.
Shared Plate and Complimentary Drinks
Participants are served a rich antipasto plate with the freshly baked bread, and guests 21+ receive complimentary wine or beverages, turning the session into a convivial midday tasting as well as a class.
Take Home a Decorated Loaf and Fresh Dough
Every pair leaves with a small decorated loaf of fresh bread, the freshly made dough to finish at home, and written instructions so the learning continues in your own kitchen.
What the day feels like
What the class feels like
Over two hours the session moves from demonstration to hands-on work: instructors show the simple focaccia method, you shape and decorate dough with a partner, and the group samples freshly baked bread alongside an antipasto plate while enjoying complimentary beverages for those of legal drinking age. The tempo is practical and convivial — part lesson, part shared meal — with clear take-home materials so you can repeat the technique at home.
