May 23, 2011 - Day 3 of Baking and Pastry I

So the third day and we were able to discuss different types of doughs.  We used the straight dough mixing method in producing the items that you'll see below.

 Personal Pizza

At first sight, one would think that this is just an ordinary pizza with tomatoe.  If you know me, you know good and well that I am absolutely not a vegeterian, but if you thought thought, my plan was a success.  The first ingrediant on the pizza is actually small cubed pancetta, followed by fresh grated parmessan cheese and a bit of salt.  I then placed the nicely sliced tomatoes (6 slices) on the crust and finished it off with  a few nice sized slices (yes, not grated) of mozerella cheese.

Cinnamon Roll

This right here isn't your typical cinnaman roll.  It's decked out with not only the brown sugar, sugar, cinnamon, and butter, but raisens and chopped wallnuts.  When I say, Cinnabon better watch out...I'm being serious.  Most people know that I LOVE Cinnabon's Cinnamon Rolls.  This was much richer, totally fresh, and straight up AWESOME!  I didn't even want to think of the calories in it...oh yeah, the light icing on top was an added bonus.  That was made with just a few ingrediants (little butter, confectionary sugar, etc.).

We also made something else but I didn't like the taste.  Many of my classmates didn't really care for it either.  So I'll just leave it at that, lol.  All in all...these items seemingly daunting, are fairly easy to produce in any kitchen (even the one we had in South Korea).

Until the next class...keep chewing...and exercising :-\
