Baking part 3!

November 2, 2011, Wednesday
QUICHE, PIE, TARTS.

For the third leg of our baking lessons, i know i've been going on nonstop about how fast time flies but i'll say it again. It went by so fast, it's only a matter of time before the year ends again. Despite my reluctant acceptance of my baking weakness, i can confidently say now that i am slowly learning how to bake. I've learned that with baking, one needs accuracy in measurements and trust in the chemistry of all ingredients to form to really come up with that perfect batch of cookies.

At first, we were taught how to manually whip dough mixtures but for this curriculum of pie and tart making, it seems we need to move on to using our handy dandy KitchenAid mixer!

Baking part 2!

Day 21. Baking

Ugh. My old enemy, we meet again. I'm not sure if i've said it before, but i'll say it again. baking. hates. me. I gotta say though, part 2 of our baking turned our pretty okay.

For baking part 2, we tackled bread making. Here, we kneaded dough, waited for it to ferment, rise, degas, etc. BREADS! - where too much of everything is bad bad bad.

Have i mentioned how i seriously hate baking?

Well, not that i hate baked goods, trust me I love them! It's just that baking or making any form of desserts for that matter, seems to have a serious all out war against me!
