Breakfast Breads

I successfully graduated from Baking Arts I and continued on to Breakfast Breads with my cooking partner, Saadia.  So far we learned how to make brioche, cinnamon buns and croissants.   This class is very different from the 'beginner' class.  Chef is very strict and has rigid time lines.  I guess it's good discipline for those going into the industry but most of us do this for fun and don't need the army like environment.  Luckily she has a nice assistant who does not hesitate to help out where needed.  Pictured here is our chelsea bun.  It was oooey, gooey, good.  A little birdy (Grandma) told Grandpa all about it so I had to bake one especially for him.  The look on his face after his first bite, and after his third cinnamon bun, made waking up every Saturday morning worth it.
