And while it's fairly simple, it's really nothing like most cake or cookie doughs at all. It starts in a pot, then moves to a mixer, then a piping bag, then the oven. There's a fair amount of work involved, but the end result: Delicious. </span><br> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-4q2TfU5qENs/TzMR2ZsGxbI/AAAAAAAACgM/kYnowV2h_mI/s1600/IMG_5940.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-4q2TfU5qENs/TzMR2ZsGxbI/AAAAAAAACgM/kYnowV2h_mI/s400/IMG_5940.JPG" width="400"> </a></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> </div> <a href="http://www.bakingandmistaking.com/2012/02/cream-puffs-and-eclairs.html#more">Read more and get the recipe >></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type='text/javascript'></script><noscript><a target='_blank' href='http://ads.foodbuzz.com/www/delivery/ck.php?n=201799bc8bdb'><img border="0" alt="" src="http://ads.foodbuzz.com/www/delivery/avw.php?zoneid=5326&n=201799bc8bdb" /></a></noscript><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7090060307333614329-5397285349371714005?l=www.bakingandmistaking.com' alt='' /></div>Baking and Mistakinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14749427940179513176noreply@blogger.com1http://www.bakingandmistaking.com/2012/02/cream-puffs-and-eclairs.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7090060307333614329.post-1479798385052758382012-01-24T08:42:00.000-05:002012-01-24T08:42:00.643-05:002012-01-24T08:42:00.643-05:00Six months later...<span class="fullpost">So about six months ago I told you I was dropping everything, moving country, and going to pastry school. Well, I did, and I spent six months creating breads, cookies, cakes, tarts, mousses, petit fours, chocolate truffles, candies, decorated cakes and even some pulled sugar. And last week, I had a week-long exam to test everything I'd learned over the semester.

In fact, I'm not even sure I'd even eaten a scone. In my mind, scones were a dry, stale pastry that people with no imagination ate along side their latte at Starbucks. Now don't ask me where that mental image came from, I haven't the slightest clue. But either way: scones! Light, fluffy, rich, delicious scones. And if that weren't enough, I threw in three types of chocolate as well. </span><br> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-K2eSj9OXa8g/Tno27wjhFwI/AAAAAAAACb4/_DiA2uuk5bA/s1600/IMG_5804.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-K2eSj9OXa8g/Tno27wjhFwI/AAAAAAAACb4/_DiA2uuk5bA/s320/IMG_5804.JPG" width="320"></a></div> <br> <a href="http://www.bakingandmistaking.com/2011/09/triple-chocolate-cream-scones.html#more">Read more and get the recipe >></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type='text/javascript'></script><noscript><a target='_blank' href='http://ads.foodbuzz.com/www/delivery/ck.php?n=201799bc8bdb'><img border="0" alt="" src="http://ads.foodbuzz.com/www/delivery/avw.php?zoneid=5326&n=201799bc8bdb" /></a></noscript><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7090060307333614329-4202153139281890534?l=www.bakingandmistaking.com' alt='' /></div>Baking and Mistakinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14749427940179513176noreply@blogger.com0http://www.bakingandmistaking.com/2011/09/triple-chocolate-cream-scones.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7090060307333614329.post-65023974083753505882011-09-19T10:23:00.000-04:002011-09-19T10:23:00.471-04:002011-09-19T10:23:00.471-04:00Challah and Whole Wheat Lean BreadI promised a few weeks ago that I would share some recipes for the breads that I learned in the first unit of pastry school.

You didn't think dessert could be terrifying, did you? Well they are. I just spent a week on them in pastry school, and I'm still not sure I mastered them. I mean, I'm quite sure I didn't. Have I scared you yet? OK well relax, you really can make them, if you follow the instructions to a T and don't mind the occasional imperfection. Better yet - if you eat the occasional imperfection. So you too can tackle lime macarons with strawberry curd filling!

Since I rarely bake things I don't like, you haven't seen really any nuts (except ground), mangoes, coffee or marshmallows. But when you go to pastry school, you don't get a whole lot of say in what you make, so despite my distaste for them, we made pecan pies last week. <br> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-B9gv1a5yzfA/TmKVOJ-_reI/AAAAAAAACbY/W9ezdD_9qYc/s1600/IMG_5681.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-B9gv1a5yzfA/TmKVOJ-_reI/AAAAAAAACbY/W9ezdD_9qYc/s400/IMG_5681.JPG" width="300"></a></div><br> <a href="http://www.bakingandmistaking.com/2011/09/pecan-tartlets.html#more">Read more and get the recipe >></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type='text/javascript'></script><noscript><a target='_blank' href='http://ads.foodbuzz.com/www/delivery/ck.php?n=201799bc8bdb'><img border="0" alt="" src="http://ads.foodbuzz.com/www/delivery/avw.php?zoneid=5326&n=201799bc8bdb" /></a></noscript><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7090060307333614329-8246930524680614288?l=www.bakingandmistaking.com' alt='' /></div>Baking and Mistakinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14749427940179513176noreply@blogger.com7http://www.bakingandmistaking.com/2011/09/pecan-tartlets.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7090060307333614329.post-16417051637436039992011-08-29T11:28:00.001-04:002011-08-30T08:54:26.476-04:002011-08-30T08:54:26.476-04:00Peach Hand Pies<span class="fullpost">Over the 2 1/2 years I've been blogging, baking and mistaking, I haven't shied away from sharing some fairly total disasters with you. I've <a href="http://www.bakingandmistaking.com/2009/08/lemon-cake-fail.html">dropped cakes</a>, I've <a href="http://www.bakingandmistaking.com/2009/08/blueberry-boy-bait-bummer_25.html">left out</a> key ingredients, I've made <a href="http://www.bakingandmistaking.com/2010/04/to-babke-and-bust.html">inedible</a> yeast doughs, seven <a href="http://www.bakingandmistaking.com/2011/02/chocolate-caramel-tart.html">disastrous attempts</a> at caramel, and I even ended up with <a href="http://www.bakingandmistaking.com/2009/11/about-last-night.html">ice cream</a> all over the walls, couch, floor and counter one night. But sometimes, sometimes I just have to pat myself on the back for creating a dessert so addictively delicious, which such...limited resources. So seriously, these peach hand pies were incredible, as is the fact that I managed to whip them up in my current kitchen. </span><br> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-eDY_Kvq3H_A/Tlup-mx9SwI/AAAAAAAACbI/OYwcaqVIbDM/s1600/IMG_5695.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-eDY_Kvq3H_A/Tlup-mx9SwI/AAAAAAAACbI/OYwcaqVIbDM/s400/IMG_5695.JPG" width="400"></a></div><span class="fullpost"> </span><br> <a href="http://www.bakingandmistaking.com/2011/08/peach-hand-pies.html#more">Read more and get the recipe >></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type='text/javascript'></script><noscript><a target='_blank' href='http://ads.foodbuzz.com/www/delivery/ck.php?n=201799bc8bdb'><img border="0" alt="" src="http://ads.foodbuzz.com/www/delivery/avw.php?zoneid=5326&n=201799bc8bdb" /></a></noscript><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7090060307333614329-1641705163743603999?l=www.bakingandmistaking.com' alt='' /></div>Baking and Mistakinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14749427940179513176noreply@blogger.com3http://www.bakingandmistaking.com/2011/08/peach-hand-pies.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7090060307333614329.post-65305260552874167192011-08-22T07:27:00.001-04:002011-08-22T07:51:08.043-04:002011-08-22T07:51:08.043-04:00Chocolate Almond BiscottiWell here it is - the first full post - recipe and all - from pastry school.

This week we moved in to complex breads, with starters and sponges and poolishes. What this means, is that a portion of the dough is prepared a day, a few days or even a week in advance, and left to rest and develop flavors, before being used in a recipe. The most common of these is a sourdough starter, but there are in fact many types.<br /> <br /> First up - Multigrain bread! This bread is filled with wonderfully healthy things like oats, flax and sunflower seeds. This recipe was made with what's called "pate fermente" or old dough, which is just how it sounds - a piece of dough left for 24 hours.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IEDSUe8LiNA/TkJ5iOujt5I/AAAAAAAACaI/JN-85YJgD44/s1600/IMG-20110802-00009.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="201" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IEDSUe8LiNA/TkJ5iOujt5I/AAAAAAAACaI/JN-85YJgD44/s320/IMG-20110802-00009.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /> Next up is a fougasse - a traditional French flatbread, similar to focaccia, cut to resemble a leaf shape. It is brushed with a light coat of olive oil and sprinkled with sea salt, and is crispy and chewy and delicious.  <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Sx135a2h5Mg/TkJw9Qxq2EI/AAAAAAAACZ0/QETuAXYeV3A/s1600/IMG_5571.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Sx135a2h5Mg/TkJw9Qxq2EI/AAAAAAAACZ0/QETuAXYeV3A/s320/IMG_5571.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /> This here is a white sourdough loaf, The sourdough is a starter made of flour and water that is left to develop for at least a week before use, for extra complex flavors.<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-SIcDGtTtNdM/TkJxKi1bx9I/AAAAAAAACZ4/BLPY7Hn6MXA/s1600/IMG_5573.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-SIcDGtTtNdM/TkJxKi1bx9I/AAAAAAAACZ4/BLPY7Hn6MXA/s320/IMG_5573.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /> This beauty is a crown made of rye sourdough rolls, filled with sunflower seeds and topped with some decorative oats, flax and sunflower seeds. We made two sourdoughs, one with white bread flour, used in recipes like the loaf above, and one with rye flour, used here. <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-8McRcAe2_6c/TkJxXhtF8qI/AAAAAAAACZ8/EYRs9Iy6-T0/s1600/IMG_5575.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-8McRcAe2_6c/TkJxXhtF8qI/AAAAAAAACZ8/EYRs9Iy6-T0/s320/IMG_5575.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /> These are more rye sourdough rolls, that are a little denser and richer, and filled with the oat-flax-sunflower seed mix instead of just straight sunflower seeds. It should be noted that no rye breads or rolls are actually 100% rye flour, but really a mix of rye and bread flours. All rye would be inedible.  <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Ljt8WpT25Ko/TkJxjGiooFI/AAAAAAAACaA/mx5ZqdXEE78/s1600/IMG_5583.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Ljt8WpT25Ko/TkJxjGiooFI/AAAAAAAACaA/mx5ZqdXEE78/s320/IMG_5583.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /> This is a loaf of whole wheat sourdough, shaped in to a cylinder shape. In case you were wondering, a slice of this, fresh out of the oven, with a touch of butter on it, is basically heaven. Also, lunch. <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-JPq0rQU8dYY/TkJxw3Oc9iI/AAAAAAAACaE/g_wXYrxUqdo/s1600/IMG_5587.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-JPq0rQU8dYY/TkJxw3Oc9iI/AAAAAAAACaE/g_wXYrxUqdo/s320/IMG_5587.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br /> Not pictured: rosemary bread - which I actually have a loaf of in my freezer but have yet to try,  olive bread - which I did not eat because I hate olives and pita bread - which I devoured too quickly to photograph. Yep, I've been busy!<br /> <br /> I promise, I will share some bread recipes soon - just wanted to share these delicious photos first. <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><span class="fullpost"></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type='text/javascript'></script><noscript><a target='_blank' href='http://ads.foodbuzz.com/www/delivery/ck.php?n=201799bc8bdb'><img border="0" alt="" src="http://ads.foodbuzz.com/www/delivery/avw.php?zoneid=5326&n=201799bc8bdb" /></a></noscript><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7090060307333614329-7973911523138844523?l=www.bakingandmistaking.com' alt='' /></div>Baking and Mistakinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14749427940179513176noreply@blogger.com1http://www.bakingandmistaking.com/2011/08/this-week-in-pastry-school.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7090060307333614329.post-15664164509028766162011-08-08T12:31:00.001-04:002011-08-08T12:31:59.029-04:002011-08-08T12:31:59.029-04:00Chocolate Muffins - Three Ways<span class="fullpost">I made a batch of chocolate muffins a few weeks ago.
