Basic & Advance Bread Class

After perfecting loaves and loaves of bread from my bread machine, i decided that it was time to upgrade and learn the core basics of bread making.

As such, i signed up for classes at Creative Culinaire in October and November 2006 and these were some of the pictures i took on my mobile phone of breads i made with my partner Jac, in the Basic and Advance classes.

Looking back, i regret not taking more pictures but my excuse is that i was just too tired after having spent long hours mixing doughs till it had a gluten window, fergmenting and shaping doughs and at the same time absorbing the tips and techniques that Chef Judy was imparting to us.

I hope these will bring some inspiration to those who are interested in bread making. My verdict - bread making is real hard work and it is worth the while when you see the final product coming out from the industrial ovens.
