Breads: Final Practical

Monday 5.9.11

Today we made Rosemary Potato Sour Dough Bread dough to makeup for the next day. Maggie and I also made Bagels. They turned out so delicious. My co-worker and I pretty much ate them all.

Tuesday 5.10.11

Wasn't feeling so great today so I stayed home. I was sad because it broke my perfect attendance record. But that's ok. The pressure is off now. I didn't get to make my breads, but that ok too. I think I got the hang of it. :) 

Wednesday 5.11.11

Today was day #1 of our 2-day final practical. We prepared our croissant and danish dough along with our frangipane filling and cinnamon filling. It went rather smoothly.

Thursday 5.12.11

Day #2 of Final Practical. We prepared the makeup of all our doughs. 

We were required to produce 3 almond filled croissants, 3 plain croissants, 6 round danishes, 2 voulavents, 3 square pinwheels, 3 round pinwheels and 3 danishes of our choice. I made 3 bear claws and added my epi looking roll for fun. 

I was very sad that I burnt my pinwheels in the upper-right hand corner. I was busy making my circle pastries and I completely forgot they were baking. However, I did also here that the temperature of the oven they were in was altered but I can't be sure of that. Other than that, Chef said my pastries looked very appetizing and that's probably the best compliment I've ever received about my desserts. 

Croissant and Danish Practical Final

I may remake the croissants and Danishes this weekend since I wasn't able to snap a photo of them in my white box. They were devoured so quickly!

Breads: over!

With Love,
