Azerbaijani Sakarbura and Pakhlava Making Experience

Step into the world of Azerbaijani baking with this hands-on pastry class dedicated to two of the country's most treasured sweets. You'll start with Sakarbura, delicate crescent-shaped pastries filled with a fragrant mixture of ground walnuts and sugar, learning the traditional technique of pinching and decorating the edges with the distinctive pattern that gives this pastry its name.

You'll then move on to Pakhlava, thin layers of pastry stacked with a spiced walnut filling and soaked in a sweet, aromatic syrup, cut into the classic diamond shapes and topped with a whole hazelnut or walnut in the center. Both sweets are staples of Novruz celebrations and everyday Azerbaijani hospitality, and by the end of the class, you'll have baked a full tray of each to enjoy warm alongside a glass of tea.

A wonderful hands-on experience for anyone who loves baking or wants a taste of Azerbaijan's rich pastry tradition, no prior baking experience required.
