Today we held a surprise party for my parent's 25th anniversary. I couldn't
mention any of the planning we've been doing in case they read my posts. I was
asked to bake a cake for the party and after thinking about it, I decided to
turn it down. But I offered to bake bread instead! I quickly started planning
what and when I was going to make the bread and this is what I ended up with:
Pugliese, francese with caramelized onions, foccacia with duck fat roasted
onions and cheddar cheese, some epi, and a couple petit sourdough miches ( I stenciled their initals and a 25 on each one with ash). It was
tricky hiding it from my parents when I brought the loaves home from school. I
put them in a suit case and said it was just laundry haha.
At the place where we held the party, I set up a small table and put all the
loaves out in a small display.
After my parents saw it I took it down,
refreshed and sliced the bread for everyone to eat. I even brought some sea
salt to be sprinkled on top of buttered slices. I was glad to hear that my
bread was a hit! Only 1 loaf was left! I even received some orders! I was
surprised when people were pulling me aside and requesting for a couple loaves
for them.
All in all I was proud of the party and glad my parents enjoyed themselves.
