Last Week of Breads Class!

Black Pepper Olive Bread Sticks

The time has flew by is all I can say. I finished my winter semester with a 3.8 GPA! This is a major accomplishment for me, very proud of my self for sticking with it. I am currently on spring break enjoying my week off before I start Dessert Plating as my next class. I am super excited and can not wait. I think that I am just excited to be out of breads class and onto something different. Starting next week look for some awesome pictures from my next class. Happy Easter to everyone!

Diet Coke on Bread! Huh??

Diet Coke Bread Plaque

I got an A! Crazy I know! This is a bread plague it turned out nothing like I wanted it to. Originally I wanted the can to be 3D, but my (play dough) Salt Dough was being a pain in the Butt. Yes you heard correctly, Play Dough! Actually took me about an hour of kneading the dough to get the color. I really had a lot of fun making this plaque, next time I will go with my gut and do what I wanted too.

Vienna Sunburst Bread!

Vienna Bread







This bread is made with 15 rolled out pieces of dough about 8 inches long. You begin by forming a circle with the rope pieces over lapping each other. Then take 3 strains and braid them forming it into a star shape. This bread taste awesome!

Challah Bread!

Challah Bread

This is a traditional Jewish bread eaten on Sabbath and Jewish holidays. A little history lesson everyone! The dough is made with a number of eggs, and sweetened with honey. The dough is traditionally cut into three rope-shaped pieces and then braided together before baking. An egg wash is applied to the dough to give it a golden color while baking. Poppy or sesame seeds are sprinkled on the bread before baking. The seeds represent manna that God gave to the Israelite to eat while they wandered in the desert.

More Yummy Breads!

Potato Sour Dough Bread

This bread is good, I actually gave it to my dad to serve to everyone for St Patricks Day. Everyone said it was good, which doesn't hurt my ego at all. I am getting very excited to move on to the next class Dessert Plating. Yummy!

Danish Pastry and Brioche, YUMMY!

Brioche

I also made a loaf of them brought it home and made french toast out of it. The kids LOVED it!



Raspberry Danish Pastry

They didn't turn out that well. I got the dough too thin, but they still tasted AWESOME!

Can we say enriched dough!

What can I say! These are buy far the best thing I have may yet since starting school. They are cinnamon rolls with pastry cream as the filling along with rum raisins. Umm, ya they so taste as good as it sounds. The other lovely thing's are Croissants!

More Flat Breads

Ok, I realize after much thought I haven't been updating my blog. Naughty me! I left off with flat breads so I will continue with them.. LOL This breads class is going to make me a stronger person I can't believe how much patience you need to have. The following are some of my favorites I made the week of Feb 22, 2010.

Rosemary Olive Focaccia Bread

Tortilla's (YUMMY!)

Focaccia PIZZA!

Artisian Flat Breads!

Welcome to Ciabatta, Fougasse and Polenta Breads. Wow, these breads are so amazing! All of these are considered flat breads and have a wide variety of uses. My favorite out of all of these is the Ciabatta Bread! I made a garlic cheese spread in class cut up the bread and away I ate, WOW!

Hot Dinner Rolls!

Wow, I love milk bread! I can't believe how easy it is to make. Makes you not want to ever buy bread from a store again. Its hard to describe what this bread taste like, heaven rolled up with a lot of butter.

Can you say Cinnamon!

Ok, Today we started our breads class, can you say carbs! Yes! This is going to be a very hard class for me I hate making bread, but I love eating it. I think that goes for everyone, you have to be a crazy person to want to make bread everyday. My first crack at the cinnamon and white bread went ok I think. I have never worked with fresh yeast so that took a little getting use too. After I got the hang of it things went pretty smooth after that.
