Home Baking Camp
August 10-14, 2020
6-8pm ET each day
Baking Camp is a 5-session online course in essential home baking techniques led by professional carbohydrate enthusiast Scott Wiener. We'll email you a list of ingredients and equipment you'll need to follow along at home. You should be able to find everything in your local grocery store, so there's no need to source anything obscure. Students will also receive access to videos of each class, bonus recipes, and additional breaducational materials.
What are we going to bake?
Our August session focuses on yeast-leavened breads! Get ready to master bagels, pizza, whole wheat sandwich bread, and semi-sourdough country loaves. All projects will fit into our 5-day cycle so you won't have any homework. All you'll need is some flour, salt, yeast, oil, butter, honey, and some bowls. We'll mix by hand, so you won't even need a stand mixer! This is all about the basics -- perfect for those who always feared baking because they thought it was too complicated.

Scott Wiener
Scott’s love for pizza began in suburban New Jersey, where weekly pizza runs created a subliminal dietary requirement. A simple love of pizza turned into obsession as he realized the history, science, and culture of pizza ran much deeper than previously thought. Weekly expeditions to historic pizzerias stirred up interest among family and friends, leading to an epic birthday party celebration that involved a school bus, a megaphone, and 26 friends. Six months later, Scott launched Scott’s Pizza Tours as a way of channeling his desire to teach the deeper story of pizza. Now, Scott is a full-time pizza enthusiast, sharing his love with inquisitive pizza lovers.
Beyond running pizza tours, Scott also writes an award-winning column for Pizza Today Magazine, contributes to PMQ’s Pizza Magazine and PizzaMarketplace.com and judges pizza culinary competitions across the planet. Scott’s pizza pontifications have been featured on the CBS Sunday Morning, The Dr Oz Show, Travel Channel, Cooking Channel, Food Network, Discovery Channel, Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Viceland, New York Magazine and millions of other tasty media outlets. Scott’s tours have been featured as a top tour on TripAdvisor, Yelp, Lonely Planet, Rough Guides and several others. He is also the author of Viva La Pizza! The Art of the Pizza Box, a book about his Guinness World Record collection of pizza boxes. There’s also a full-length documentary about Scott’s pizza-filled lifestyle.
Scott runs every Sunday NYC Pizza Bus tour as well as a revolving schedule of public tours, private events, and online classes with his team of mighty pizza spirit guides.
