The bread journey continues!!…. This time doubl

The bread journey continues!!….
This time doubling down on trying to understand better how to use #sourdoughstarter so IT WORKS!!
It can be finicky…. Or time consuming at least.
I Worked on really strengthening the starter for about two weeks (#fortnight)… untill it was really active and bubbly and stringy…
Used that In the mix and gave it plenty of time to bulk rise and proof…. All the time with fear that I may over prove it… but in the end… it passsed the finger test (we love the finger test) and it really sprang up nicely in the oven!
There’s so many timing variables… the only thing to do is to practice practice practice to get familiar with that dough at each stage of the process…. I’m still learning…

Creme puffffffsss…. It’s all about the filling

Creme puffffffsss…. It’s all about the filling! These are like French dessert tacos.. make the shell and fill her up!

I chose classic vanilla pastry cream (crème patisserie) and salted whipped chocolate ganache..
First time with Choux pastry as well!
@seriouseats has some VERY DESCRIPTIVE recipes, including all the science for Choux pastry and Creme Patisserie-check them out:

🇬🇷 Melomakarona 🇬🇷
Greek Honey Walnut Cookie

These honey and walnut cookies made with olive oil and winter spices are ALL over Greece over Christmas and winter- they’re hearty and sweetened only with honey- definitely different than our super white sugar sweet cookies in the states.
I like learning about how different cultures treat their sweets!
This is a good one! And they only get better the longer they sit in their honey syrup….. they’re soooo good.

🇫🇷French King Cake / Galette des Rois season

🇫🇷French King Cake / Galette des Rois season is here… something about the “epiphany” blah blah… all you need to know is it’s a delicious almond cream sandwiched between crispy laminated puff pastry dough layers… and it’s delicious and good… so make one! its way easier than it looks.
For starters use @dufourpastrykitchens premade puff pastry and you’re more than half way there!
