Today in class we made French bread and Challah. It turns out that I really like Challah! But both turned out pretty well. I can’t wait to try making it on my own. We had to rush the rising process, so supposedly this means that the bread wasn’t as tasty as it could have been. I think I want to make Challah again…but we’ll see how it goes!
We learned a ton about yeast and flours today. One good note for breads is that bread that has risen well will keep an indent if you poke it. After you kneed it properly, it will bounce back.
Also, you can make your own yeast with potatoes or organic grapes. But I’m not so sure I’m up for that…it sounds like it could go really wrong.
