August Special Hands On Class

Just sharing my special hands on session with two brothers, 3 days as usual and these guys are beginners which is mostly what i usually get to teach since 2001. Honestly, i would have occasional students who have attended baking lessons somewhere else, you know trying to update their skills, some have attended only a few weeks before and some were like months or years ago. That is normal. If you take these lessons, be sure to practice, practice, practice no less than a week after you take the class. Everything should be fresh in your mind especially, if you have never baked breads before. I always tell them, do not let a week go by without baking at least a flatbread, or a small batch of dinner rolls because it keeps you interested, and for ehem…rich people sometimes this is a problem.

Unless this is really what you have been dreaming for the past 10 years or so and not just some whim because you happen to bite into a crusty roll and you liked it, baking will be like a routine to you. Something that happened to me, way back 1995. I will tell you that story on my next post and i apologize if i have not been posting regularly, because another passion of mine have taken over my timeline at the moment and i am obsessing to be honest with you so please bear with me.

It was fun teaching these two,and for the first time in my class, someone ate 5 Sugar Donuts in less than half an hour. Right there, while sitting one of the boys who at first was too shy when i offered for them to taste the freshly fried batch of Sugar Donuts using the Cinnamon Roll dough. But the moment Pancho tasted one, oh boy, and when i realized that he liked it, i told him to just grab all the donuts on the plate. I did not expect that he would eat all of them. Hahaha! I thought he would pack 3, and just eat another piece, but that was heaven to me. To see that my students not only liked what we do, but love them is joy. Pure joy.

So have a look at the photos, i forgot to take a photo of Day 2 breads, something that never happened to me before because i love taking photos of the breads from start to finish but i was distracted somehow so the photos of the hamburger and hotdog buns are not here.
