The Mexican Bakery Masterclass Series

Coming Soon

Our masterclass videos are currently in production. We’re in the process of filming, editing, and perfecting each video to complement specific chapters of The Mexican Bakery.

Soon, all five QR codes from Chapters 2, 4, 6, 8, and 12 in the book will unlock a detailed tutorial led by Chef Alex Peña to guide you through the techniques, baking science, and recipe variations.

When the videos are ready, we’ll send an email update to let you know they’re live.

What’s On the Way

Each chapter’s video serves as a companion to the recipes and techniques featured in The Mexican Bakery.
