I've decided to make the topic of my blogs to change weekly. Hopefully it'll
keep things a bit more interesting.
What better way to start off a personal
blog than to talk about me!?
*I know, pretty much
anything*
So here goes:
I am currently a student attending the CIA (the Culinary Institute of
America). I'm majoring in Baking and Pastry. Why Baking and not Culinary? Well,
I love baking breads. There's
just something about bread that draws me to it. The smell of the yeast fermenting,
the feel of the dough when shaping, the way it just comes to life
in the oven, and obviously, the taste: a few minutes out of the oven, nice
crust, warm, soft insides, nothing can beat it. My favorite is sour dough. Spread some goat cheese
on it and I’m in Heaven! My goal is to open my own cafe one day and I want to take these freshly baked breads in my cafe
and turn them into sandwiches. Nothing could compare to a sandwich made with
fresh bread.
Attending the CIA, I have greatly increased my knowledge of bread baking;
and I have barely scratched the surface of it. Below are some pictures of some of
the different types of bread I've made here at school. Every three weeks we
hold a Grand Buffet and all classes participate in producing for it. It is
basically an event to show your fellow students what you have been learning in
your class, to say the least.
Yes I'm a Bread Head.
