piehaus is inviting guests to step away from the pace of everyday life with the launch of The Art of Phyllo, a new workshop that celebrates the centuries-old craft of making handmade phyllo pastry.
Designed as more than a cooking class, the 90-minute experience introduces participants to the traditions, techniques and cultural heritage behind one of the world’s oldest forms of pastry-making, where every sheet of dough is stretched entirely by hand.
Led by piehaus founder Stasha Toncev alongside Executive Chef Milan Jurkovic, the workshop combines storytelling, live demonstrations and practical instruction in an intimate setting for small groups.
Guests learn how to stretch delicate, paper-thin phyllo dough before shaping it into traditional pies. The session concludes with participants gathering around the table to enjoy the pastries they’ve created together, reinforcing the communal traditions that have long been associated with handmade baking.
According to piehaus, the experience is intended not only to teach a recipe but also to encourage a greater appreciation for craftsmanship, patience and the simple satisfaction of creating something by hand.
The workshop reflects the philosophy behind the Alserkal Avenue bakery, which focuses on preserving traditional baking methods while creating shared culinary experiences centred on making, gathering and storytelling.
