Learning to Bake

Posted by Trevy Thomas Jan 31, 2008

I made some chocolate croissants the other day with a cheater's recipe involving store bought puff pastry and a chocolate bar. I was relieved to find the recipe because I'm a bit of a chocolate croissant addict, and having them on hand at all times can be quite a chore. Also, I don't really bake and was at the mercy of professionals to help me. Once, a bakery owner told me she would make me 10 at a time and I could freeze them but she wasn't making any less than that. Ridiculous. I don't want frozen croissants, I want real ones. My cheater's recipe is partially frozen already, so it's not a perfect solution. I've decided it's time to learn to be a real baker. If I can do it so can you. This book will surely help.
