Focaccia, fougasse, pain au chocolat, jam doughnuts and iced buns in this session. Peter made the fougasse:
 |
| It's difficult to spread out the holes in the fougasse properly, since the oven trays are so small! Also in the pic are 2 jam doughnuts, 2 peitit pain au chocolat and two iced buns. |
And the others all made focaccia:
 |
| Sallie’s focaccia and several of her buns. Sallie comes straight from work, so by this time in the evening, she’s ravenous! |
 |
Franks half-eaten focaccia with olives and sun-dried tomatoes. Plus his sweet buns.
|
 |
| A s-d-tomato and rosemary version |
 |
| Ben's (I think) rosemary focaccia |
As you can see, I only remembered to take some pic pretty late
in the session!
The
three sweet varieties of bread are all made out of the same batch of dough.
A comment from one of my students, Paul - "I've never known 2 hours to go past so quickly." :)

Freeform loaves and Chelsea buns tonight - and already, it's evident that the students are no longer beginners! I did remember to take some pics, this time:
 |
| Frank getting to grips with a plait |
 |
| A batch of Chelsea buns - seems to be missing one?? |
 |
| Cottage loaf - the gap at the bottom means it could have been left to prove for a little longer - but we're up against the clock! :( |
 |
| A coburg loaf - sorry it's a bit blurred! |
 |
| Another cottage loaf - lightly singed, I'm afraid |
 |
| Ben's plait, I think... |
 |
| ...and Frank's |

A 5 week course began tonight, with 6 students - 5 of them new to breadmaking - made soda bread and fancy dinner rolls tonight. The other student had attended my course in Taunton and enjoyed it so much that he persuaded several of his friends to join him tonight.
I completely forgot about taking any pics, but all the bread turned out OK!
