Bread Baking Class

I had another class at Williams-Sonoma tonight. This time it was bread baking. We learned how to make brioche which can also be made into cinnamon buns. I really learned a lot from the class and how all the ingredients work together to make bread. I guess the most enlightening thing I learned was how much temperature makes a difference throughout the process. The teacher checked the temperature of his ingredients and dough several times throughout the process. It was very interesting. Of course I had to buy a digital thermometer after the class so I could come home and put to use what I had learned. At least I got a 10 % discount.

How fun for you to take cooking classes. Hey, I just got called in YW after being in primary/nursery for the past 6 years. So of course I thought back to our fun YW days. Oh how I miss our little trips to Fergies!!!!
