Basic & Topped Focaccias

33:12

Take a tour of flatbreads from around the world with your guide Meredith Deeds, cookbook author, food writer and culinary instructor. Start in Italy, with classic focaccia dough made by hand. Learn the basic recipe techniques for mixing, kneading, resting and shaping this delicious olive-oil infused dough before baking it up to golden perfection. Then, learn to make a Tuscan variation in your stand mixer that adds just enough wheat flour to impart nutty undertones. Finally, learn several ways to top your focaccia with nuts, sautéed onions, cheese and more!

Filled Focaccias

24:17

Continue exploring focaccia as you learn to make three more variations! First, make a delicious, delicate cheese-filled version as you roll the dough super thin and then fill it with creamy stracciatella cheese. Then, learn how to make a potato-infused dough you can use to make focaccine (focaccia rolls) or a bread stuffed with ham and fontina, or whatever fillings you choose!

Cracker Crust Flatbreads

14:35

Create endless options for entertaining with cracker-thin flatbreads! Similar to a pizza crust, this flatbread can be pre-baked ahead of time, then topped later and baked to a crispy, golden brown. Meredith offers tips for rolling and topping this deliciously versatile dough.

Naan

23:23

Continue on to India as you learn how to make authentic naan, right in your own kitchen -- no special equipment needed! Meredith will teach you how to make ghee, or Indian clarified butter, which you'll use to brush onto your toasted flatbread. Discover which secret ingredient gives naan its signature tang and softness, and see how quickly you can make this bread at home! Meredith even shows you how to make naan stuffed with onions or potatoes!

Flour Tortillas

9:22

Head south of the border as you make flour tortillas. This unleavened dough can be made in your mixer (or you can make it by hand!) with just four ingredients. Find out how long it should rest and get professional tips for how to roll out and cook light and delicious tortillas right on your stovetop using a cast iron pan or griddle.

Corn Tortillas

16:19

Switch from flour to corn tortillas as you master working with masa and using a tortilla press. Explore the difference between fresh masa and masa harina. Meredith offers advice for pressing the dough into flat, even tortillas every time, guaranteed not to stick in your press! Watch as your tortillas puff up on the griddle, and see how to stuff and toast them for delicious appetizers in a jiffy!

Pita

12:48

Return to the Mediterranean to learn how to make classic pita breads. The dough is easy to create in your food processor or by hand. Roll out the dough, put it in the oven and watch it get its signature pita puff and pocket in a matter of minutes! Finally, learn how to turn your pita bread into pita chips in a few easy steps!

Bonus materials available after purchase

What is the “Purchase” option all about?

If you are a paid Craftsy Member, you have immediate and ongoing access to nearly every Class, for as long as your Membership Account remains active. To access the Class videos, be sure you’re logged-in to your Account. The “Purchase” option is simply an alternative way for you to own a given Class, beyond your Membership term in Craftsy. When you “Purchase-to-Own” this Class, you can keep it for your personal collection, and can enjoy on-demand video access to this Class even if your Membership expires. You won’t lose access, and you’ll be able to enjoy your library of purchased content without any expiration or condition.

If I’m a paid Premium or Gold Member of Craftsy, do I need to purchase the Class to have access?

How do I know what the Class covers?

Nearly every Class has a free “Class Preview” video clip. This will give you a flavor for the Class Instructor and the skills or project that you’ll learn in the Class. In addition, each Class Lesson has a brief written summary of its content, including the length of each Lesson video. Lastly, under the Bonus Materials tab, you can see what extra elements are included with the video Class – usually a printable PDF resource, or two, is included. You will get a good feel for the complete Class content by reviewing these various elements.

Do I have to be a Member of Craftsy to purchase a Class?

Absolutely not. Anyone can “Purchase-to-Own” a Class without the commitment of Premium Membership. If you’re not a Member, when you click on the “Get Class Access” button, you’ll be given a couple purchase options. One of those options is to purchase the Class on its own. You would then own the Class and have access to it in your Craftsy account permanently – weather you’re a Member or not. Do keep in mind, however, that as a benefit of Craftsy Membership, you would have access to all Classes on the Craftsy site as long as your Membership is valid.

How do I “Purchase-to-Own” a Class?

First you should decide that the Class is what you want. Review the Class Preview video, and the various written descriptions of the Class and each Lesson before you purchase-to-own, so you have a good understanding of the Class content. When you’re ready to purchase the Class, simply click the “Get Class Access” (or it may show “Purchase Option”) and proceed. You will be given the option to join as a Premium Member of Craftsy, giving you access to this and all other then-active Classes throughout the term of your Premium Membership, or to purchase this one Class only, which you would then have access to perpetually.

How do I access/view my Class?

If/when you are a Craftsy Premium or Gold Member, you will have access to all then-active Classes on Craftsy. In that case, you can simply visit any Class page and enjoy the videos (be sure you’re logged in to your Membership Account). If you are not a paid Member of Craftsy, but have completed a “Purchase-to-Own” transaction, you can access/view your Class by going to the MY ACCOUNT section of Craftsy. Within your MY ACCOUNT, a section labeled “Classes” will appear, including a link to watch the videos of your Class and to access any Bonus Materials included. You can access your Class(es) as many times as you wish, and you’ll never lose access to your Account information. Just be sure to Log In for access to MY ACCOUNT.

Is there a limit on the times I can view my Class?

Can I view a Class on my tablet device or mobile phone?

How do I get access to the Bonus Materials for the Class?

Unless you are a Craftsy Premium Member, or until you purchase a Class, the Class Bonus Materials (any PDF download materials, etc.) will not be accessible. Once you join as a Member or purchase-to-own a Class, each individual bonus element is accessible by simply clicking on each item. You’ll find these elements within the “Bonus Materials” tab underneath your main Class viewer frame. As with the Class video, you can access the Bonus Materials as many times as you like – or you can print them out also.

How does the Class Discussion benefit work?

Once you become a Craftsy Premium Member, or purchase-to-own a Class, you’ll have the ability to post a question, comment, or tip in the Class Discussion area. You’ll find the Class Discussion tab directly below the Class video frame. This is not a “live chat,” but a subject matter expert may answer posted questions. The responses may not be from the actual Class Instructor. You’ll be able to see all Class participants’ questions and input to take part in this virtual dialogue among others who have viewed the Class and are willing to share tips, answers, or ideas.

Can I print out Class Bonus Materials?

Are there any system requirements to view the Class video content?

Can I get a refund if I don’t like the Class?

If your access to a Class is through Premium Membership in Craftsy, then there is no refund available on any specific Class. A refund on a Craftsy Premium Membership will be applied on a pro-rata basis, within the then-existing term of your Craftsy Premium Membership. If you did “Purchase-to-Own” a given Class, yes we want to make you happy. Even though you will have been able to view all videos and download any Bonus Materials, we have a 100% money-back guarantee on any Class you purchase on an a la carte basis (Purchase-to-Own). This refund is available if you request it within 30 days of your Class purchase. Please direct any refund request to our Customer Service team, using the Contact Us information on Craftsy.com. In an attempt to avoid this situation, please review the Class Preview video and the various other written descriptions of the Class and each Lesson before you purchase, so you have a good understanding of the Class content.
