oh what a weekend! between last night and all day today, i am unbelievably tired. we did a super serious amount of baking today and a whole lot more eating than baking. croissant and danish doughs are delightful, though brioche smells the best when it is in the oven. brioche gets this magnificent cake like texture and a wonderful, buttery, yeast smell that fills the whole kitchen. it is an amazing product that can be used for many, many different applications both sweet and savory.
for lunch today we made savory croissants. batch one of doughy, buttery goodness to end up sitting in your stomach like a rock. included in our lunch buffet, were our brioche applications including cinnamon rolls, coffee cakes, and sticky buns. i had eaten so much sugary, gooey, dough by the end of the day that i thought i was going to end up in a coma. sticky buns straight out of the oven are truly fabulous, the topping is still amazingly gooey and fabulous, and the dough still has the perfect butter taste of being warm. wow today was caloric!!
danishes are extremely fun to make and they smell very distinctive when they are baking as there is a small amount of cardamom in the dough. add that to a berry filling and you get amazing results that i don't think anyone could resist. plus you get to make all sorts of cool shapes like pinwheels and rosettes and bear claws and braids.
luckily i didn't have to come home and make dinner. thank you for the yummy tacos ron and becky! and now i do believe it is time to finish watching harry potter so i can go to bed.
