Kozunak Baking Class in Sofia with Nikolay Nemigenchev

This kozunak baking class in Sofia turns Easter preparations into a hands-on pleasure: making sweet dough, shaping it into braids and enjoying the aroma of a festive loaf you have baked yourself. With guidance from Nikolay Nemigenchev, you will work towards a light, fluffy kozunak — the traditional Easter sweet bread — with a vanilla fragrance, delicate strands and an inviting golden crust.

This experience is for you if you want to do more than watch: you want to understand what makes the bake work and take part in creating it. Alongside traditional kozunak, you will also make Easter desserts, giving you more ideas for bringing a festive touch to your table at home.

From mixing the dough to shaping your Easter loaf

You will explore the key stages of working with sweet dough, including kneading, twisting, braiding and baking. The focus is on flavour as well as the soft, fine-stranded texture that makes homemade kozunak so distinctive.

• Learn techniques for kneading sweet kozunak dough.
• Understand why the balance of sugar and flour matters for the right texture.
• Explore suitable additions, including Turkish delight, raisins, chocolate, jams and other sweet fillings.
• Work on achieving an appetising golden crust.
• Prepare festive Easter desserts as well as traditional kozunak.

The aim is to leave you feeling more confident about making these festive bakes independently at home, sharing them with the people you love and enjoying the flavour of genuinely homemade Easter bread.

A practical class where everyone takes part

This is not simply a chef's demonstration. Every participant cooks actively and completes tasks during the session. The format reflects a real working kitchen, with its pace, changing demands and practical details.

The class is recommended for people with an interest in cooking who are ready to follow the chef's instructions and get involved. The advertised duration is 4 hours, but the actual finishing time depends on the group's pace, so the session may run longer.

What the experience includes

• A place for one person on a cooking class with Nikolay Nemigenchev.
• Everything required to run the class.
• A copy of the recipes used for the bakes and desserts.
• An apron.
• Mineral water, coffee or tea.
• A course completion certificate and a small gift.

Tasting and kitchen safety

An alcoholic drink is served only at the end of the class, once the cooking is finished and participants are tasting what they have made. No alcoholic drinks are served during the hands-on cooking, helping everyone stay focused and keeping the working environment safe.
