The Art of Bread & Butter with Christian Capo

**This experience is offered on Wednesday and Thursday at 10am**

Step into the warm, fragrant world of Patty O’s Bakery for an intimate baking demonstration led by head baker Christian Capo. This engaging experience offers guests a behind-the-scenes look at one of the bakery's most cherished crafts: naturally leavened sourdough bread.

Chef Christian—whose résumé spans acclaimed kitchens from Dominique Ansel Bakery & Kitchen to luxury resorts—will share the techniques, timing, and traditions that shape the bakery’s daily work. Through this 60-minute experience, guests will learn how a living sourdough starter is maintained, how fermentation develops flavor and structure, and why time is one of the baker’s most important ingredients.

Throughout the demonstration, Chef Christian will offer insight into the care, patience, and precision behind a beautiful loaf of sourdough, from the earliest stages of the starter to the final bake. Guests will leave with a deeper appreciation for the craft behind this bakery favorite, along with a portion of the Patty O's heirloom sourdough starter to continue the journey at home.

Part demonstration, part storytelling, and entirely delicious, this experience offers an insider's glimpse into the artistry that transforms flour, water, salt, and time into one of the bakery's most cherished creations.
