It's our last day in Maya Kitchen and it's a special day with the presence of Chef Crista, and she's going to do euro breads! This are specialty breads that really deserved one's attention because it's not easy to do, especially in our country, with our tropical weather handling the ingredients for this types of breads really is a hassle. It uses special butter that needs to be in a constant chilled temperature to prevent it from melting..
She's eager to start the class that on the dot of 9am everybody was told to settle down.:) Recipe leaflets was handed down and it's a bunch! Guess she's going to cover a lot of breads! I scanned it and this are weird sounding ones, like Brioche, Bechamel, Yogurt Bread, Danish Pastry, Danish Bear Claw?? hmmm.rest assured that no bears were harmed during this baking session..:))
The most important thing to remember for this day is to work fast so that the butter/shortening won't melt! There's a lot of rolling pin use for this kind of bread, a lot of folding and chilling and resting..Chef Crista is right that if you are going to do this breads you have to have a lot of patience because there no short cut way..and it's also a good source of arm toning..:)
Hours passed, chatter and banter coming especially from Surigao Boy "wala sa amin nyan" made everybody laugh and made Fatz blush like a tomato ( peace mama bear ) ! hahaha!
This is the first time that we passed 2 pm, guess
Chef Crista thought she's still in the cooking class and didn't realize that we are supposed to be up to 2 only..oh well! One by one some of the guys started missing, I guess they still have some appointments to make..and in the end only three of us waited for the last batch of goodies..PG's!! hehehe!
