Yingying Teo is the Founder, Managing Director, Chef & Pastry Creator at Doña Bakehouse. With six years of experience in the F&B industry, particularly three years specializing in bakery operations, she has mastered every aspect of running a dynamic and thriving bakehouse—from seamless back-of-house operations to engaging front-of-house management.
"When I started my coaching journey in the bakehouse, I received many inquiries from overseas bakers and individuals who were eager to join but couldn’t due to distance and travel limitations. This inspired me to design a course that is both accessible and practical. I’ve carefully crafted each lesson to be highly hands-on, allowing you to truly feel the dough and learn how the dough sheeter becomes an extension of your artisanal skills. The course is packed with essential tips and tricks perfect for beginners, presented in a well-organized structure to ensure you never feel overwhelmed."
By the end of this journey, you'll not only master the art of using a dough sheeter but also gain confidence in creating professional-quality pastries with ease.
