Beginning Breads

Today was the first day of Module 2 - breads and pastries. To start, we have a new chef! His name is Chad Pagano - some of you may have seen him competing on the Food Network's Pastry Challenge for sugar showpieces. He seems like a great teacher and we are all excited about going into some less sugary stuff for the next couple of weeks. In this module, we'll cover all breads (including pizza, bagels and foccacia), pies, tarts, other pastry doughs (such as Puff Pastry), cannolis, etc. It's going to be lots of FUN! Here is a photo of Chef Chad teaching us how to round out our semolina rolls, a photo of the rolls in the deck ovens, my rolls in the box.
