ONE DOUGH, THREE DELICIOUS SAVOURY BAKES
Join me for a hands-on baking workshop where one simple pastry dough becomes three completely different bakes.
We'll start with the base pastry dough, where I'll share all my tips to achieving flaky, tender pastry so you never have to buy packaged frozen pastry again.
Then I'll show you how to turn it into a Chicken Pie, Cornish Style Pasties, before using every last offcut for Smoky Cheese Straws so nothing goes to waste.
Along the way, you'll learn exactly why pastry shrinks, toughens, or goes soggy on the bottom so you'll never have to worry about those common pastry problems again.
Join me for our live workshop on Sunday, September 27th at 1pm Sydney time.
Bake along with me live, or simply watch and make everything later with your replay.

SOUND FAMILIAR?
TOUGH, SHRUNKEN OR SOGGY PASTRYÂ
WHAT WENT WRONG?Â
Â
Maybe you’ve followed a recipe exactly, only to watch your pastry shrink away from the tin.
Maybe the top of your pie looked beautiful…until you cut into it and found a soft, soggy bottom.
Or maybe you’ve never made pastry at all because it has always seemed a bit too fussy and unpredictable, so grabbing a packet from the freezer is simply easier.
That’s exactly why I’m running this workshop.
Pastry isn’t difficult once you understand the few little things that really matter.
And instead of trying to explain them to you on a page, I’m going to show you.
You’ll be in your kitchen and I’ll be in mine, making the pastry right alongside you.
HERE'S WHAT WE'LLÂ DO TOGETHERÂ
During our 2½ hours together, you’ll:
- Make a flaky pastry dough completely from scratch
Learn why keeping your ingredients and dough cold matters - See how much handling pastry actually needs - and when to stop
- Learn what causes tough, shrunken and soggy pastry and how to prevent it
- Turn your dough into a Quick Chicken Pie with a crisp base
- Shape and crimp Cornish-style Pasties
- Turn the leftover pastry into Smoky Cheese Straws so nothing goes to waste
- Ask questions as we go if your own pastry isn’t behaving quite as expected
And by the end of the workshop, if you’re baking along with me, you’ll have three beautiful homemade bakes ready to eat or pop into the freezer.
More importantly, you’ll have a pastry recipe and a skill you can use again and again for years to come.

WHY I TEACH THIS
I USED TOÂ BUY MY PASTRY TOO!
I’m Shaz, and I teach home bakers how baking actually works, not just the steps in a recipe, but why we do what we do.
And pastry wasn’t always something I confidently made myself.
For years, I bought it from the supermarket because I genuinely thought homemade pastry was too difficult and too time consuming. Â
When I finally started making my own, I discovered it was neither.
But I also discovered that the difference between okay pastry and beautiful flaky pastry came down to a handful of little things recipes don’t always explain very well.
That’s exactly what I’m going to teach you in this workshop.
No fancy equipment. No complicated pastry techniques.
Just good old-fashioned homemade pastry and an understanding of how to get it right.
Tracey B.
"Tonight I told some friends about my galette I made with my flaky pastry, and showed photos. Many of them are proficient cooks, and one bakes amazing cakes. Their consistent comment with amazement “you made your own pastry?!" Feeling chuffed."Â
That’s what I want for you.
Not just one successful pie.
I want you to get to the point where making your own pastry doesn’t feel like a big deal anymore.
You know how it should feel. You know when it has been worked enough. You know why you’re resting it. And if something doesn’t look quite right, you have a pretty good idea why.
That’s baking with confidence.

IMAGINEÂ THE NEXT TIME YOUÂ DECIDEÂ TO MAKE A PIE
Â
🥧 Instead of heading to the freezer aisle for a packet of pastry, you make your own.
🥧 You know how the dough should feel.
🥧 You know when to stop handling it.
🥧 You know how to help prevent it shrinking.
🥧 And when that pie comes out of the oven with golden, flaky pastry and a lovely crisp bottom, you know it wasn’t luck.
🥧 You know how to do it.
Â
That’s what I want you to take away from this workshop.
One afternoon. Three delicious bakes. And a pastry skill you can keep using for years.
