I'm excited. I decided that I loved baking so much that I would get an education in it. This week has been my first week. It's been a tentative week; waking up early does that to you, but a really fulfilling week at the same time.
I have finally been given permission to love food. Seriously love it. To smell, to dip fingers in the sour tasting levain and taste it, to know w
hat the hell a poolish is.
I'm slow to start, to volunteer to do things, but I'm loving it. Today (and yesterday) we made these gorgeous (not perfect) but wonderful baguettes. Crunchy, crusty, caramel coloured tasty baguettes. I'm so happy it's amazing.
I'm so jealous! That's great, congratulations for seizing your passion. =)
ReplyDeleteThank you! What's stopping you from seizing your passion?
ReplyDeleteYou are already a master baker as far as I'm concerned. I look forward to your upcoming posts.
ReplyDeleteThat looks wonderful! All of my bread always look the same... dense.
