Baking backed up...

So I have 2 weeks worth of pics from baking classes today. So much has been going on with classes and exams its been tough to get in some blog time but here it is...


The class to follow 'Enriched Yeast Dough' is 'Quick breads'...so Tuesday before last, we took on Quick Breads...these tender morsels are just that. In production, they are put together fairly quickly with very little mixing to make sure we don't develop the protein in flour called 'gluten'. If we over mix we will have very tough, 'bready' quick breads which are really undesirable. Now in post-production, they don't last very long once out of the oven and cooled..yummm yummm :). Here's a glimpse of the creations...

Buttermilk biscuits!!...see all the love that was put into these guys....

Close up love...


On the left are Popovers, really quick to put together and a great brunch item; centre-back  are Cranberry drop scones, lovely colour on them; and to the right are the Corn muffins, a bit denser than expected but the flavour was there.

Chocolate Chip Muffins...more like pillows!!!!!

My favourite...Banana Bread!...delicate but assertive flavour. The almonds on top really added that toasty, crunch banana bread enjoys so much...

Cookies next.....
