Hey Everyone!

Sorry that i havent updated the blog in like a week!! School has been Crazy!!

Monday was just a general first day. This is so and so. This is where this is kept. Do this. Dont do this. Introduce ourselves to everyone. The typical first day of school.

Tuesday we jumped right in! We made
a Whole Wheat Loaf Bread



Semolina Loaf Bread ( A is for Awesome Amy :P)

as well as Parisienne.
 


Wednesday we made two different baguettes(one with a sponge preferment the other without)

the one on the left is the one with the preferment (all that means is that we mixed the flour, water and yeast a bit before hand and let it sit and so it helps bread quality,  the strength, as well as the aroma)


 as well as more parisienne but we got to put inclusions in them :)

The first picture is the dough and my inclusions(the add ins) are in the container. I used parmesean cheese and spinach.  The second picture is my attemps at knots and a braid. These buns were delicous!!

Thursday was Focaccia, which was amazing!! i love the taste of it.


We also did a Fougasse, which we got to try out an artisan design. I tried doing a leaf.  This was pre baked



It got a little burnt so i dont have a great picture of it but i did take one of all the things we did that day, so you can see how much it had risen and that the cuts could have almost been a bit bigger.


Also did pizza dough and then got to make mini pizzas  :) it was so good! almost like a margherita pizza!

So i have been pretty full of bread this week but it has all been delicious with different flavors and textures :)
