Breads . . . and mOre Breads !!?

*i knead this dough all by my precious hands =D*

Trust me it is not fun to be a BAKER back in those days ! It's tiring to knead a bread dough, friction and body heat plays and important role in developing the gluten so it can be like a elastic band. We only knead 500gm of dough . . . all of us nearly scream of help ! XD

Of course, using hands cant beat the machine cos it takes about 20-25 minutes for us to develop the gluten but still it's not smooth compare to the machine,it only takes 12 mins and waaalaaa..u get the smoothness dough ever ! I happy with my bread though, the end products wasn't that bad - it's soft and edible !

PHew ! what a day for us . . . im exhausted, i went straight home and snug into bed for 2 hours, plus its a rainy day. . how nice can u imagine that ! xD

*taaaaadaaaaa..this is the results ! - my housemate love it so much cos they are near to perfect*

*50gm-sized of crustry rolls with poppy seads/semolina/sesame as finishing*

It's already week 3 for my basic patisserie course, we've made and ate and dump lots of bread O.o" . hAhAhA . . i know it's such a waste but me and my housemates just cant finish it.

I really impressed with the person who invented the kitchen aid aka. the mixer cause it only takes 12 mins to get a smooth and ready to frement bread dough !

We made sweet breads and crusty rolls on the next day :>

LOL..look at michiyo..she just loves her bread !*

On saturday, we have wholemeal breads and pepita breads (lots seeds are added into it)

- the technique is almost the same except we cant check the dough whether it is ready or not with the 'window gluten' method because there are lots of wholemeal in it it will just break as we streches it. The only method is to touch the dough - it will nt stick to your fingers and it is not too dry.

*Wholemeal & Pepita Bread ~ MINE !*
