Do not be shocked... but yes, we made more bread today. :) :) :) May I present you my final product:
Today's bread was Country Style Bread. It was an Artisan Bread day so we had the choice of shaping these and scoring them in all different kinds of ways. You could do your classic 3 scores, or you could do X's or Checkers or circles... squares. Whichever you wanted. It was neat to see the chef make the different scores. Below are his shapes. He created a Boule with a swirl score and the Batard with the X scores:
The final product smelled heavenly of course and when I got it home and cut it, it was so very soft and yummy. I stopped by the store because I was going to create a mango chutney spread, but I am not going to lie, I got lazy. Dear Kraft Philadelphia- Honey and Nut- Cream Cheese Spread, how do I love thee??.. let me count the ways!! Yuuuummm!! I had a craving for Cream Cheese, what do you want me to tell ya? A girl can only go so long without spreading it on the bread. :)
I know, you want to see my final creations don't ya? Ok, fine... here we are:
Mine is the back bottom batard that you can't even see in this pic! :) My partner did the other two. Good thing too, because she was chosen as one of the 24 that will be doing the practical tomorrow. I will do mine next Thursday. Our hunch that he would choose the batard shape was true, so we all decided to practice it.
Shall we ask the same question here as we did yesterday? Of course! :) Do any of these look like FOOTBALLS?!?!? Uuugghhh, I mean seriously!! How hard is it? Roll the dough out, come up and over, bring the two sides up and over. (in the shape of a smiley face) Bring the middle up one more time, bring the sides up and over and finish rolling it on its bottom.. That's it folks... You think we could get it right?
NOPE!
Off I go to practice... It's a library day tomorrow for the rest of us. We need to write about the history of bread. I'm sneaking my play dough in there!
Have a nice night everyone! The weekend is almost here and I have a busy one!
XO
Just tell me, was the crust soft or hard cause it looks Goooood! I know you wanted to do your practical ASAP but a little more time means a little more practice (football) :) You crack me up with the play-dough...LOLOLOL!
ReplyDeleteHave a great Friday! ;)
Roll the dough, go over, bring up wings, bring middle to the left, bring top to the right, go over the bridge, make a left, pass the totem pole on the right and...did I get it? Did I get it?? Oh my goodness, let me just be a taster please!! Wow, again I so applaud your effort because they may not look like footballs but they look delicious and that's what counts to moi! I would love to know about the history of bread!! I could probably use the info you learn about bread in my future classroom! Fun!!! Have a great library day :) xoxoxo :)
