I went for my usual monthly baking class last Sunday. The lesson for the month was Bread. We learned to make Croissants, French Baguettes, Crown twist, Sandwich Rolls and 7 Grain bread. I just love this class as we learned all the right technique of making a good loaf of bread and the croissant is just to die for. There is something satisfying about bread baking. Kneading, proofing and shaping each loaf. By the way, we get to take home everything we baked that day and now my kitchen is full of bread.Here are some of the pictures I took during the class. What do you think we should have for dinner? Garlic bread, maybe?
