LOVE this class
I FINALLY can make an awesome loaf of french bread!!! The techniques taught are very understandable and the recipes are delicious! Peter is a great teacher. I love Craftsy!!!!
and I thought I could bake bread
I have learnt soooo much. I have been baking bread for years and Peter has explained how to do so much more. What an easy way to learn!
Check out his pizza class too!
So many shapes from one basic dough
I have learned so much from watching the videos and keep going back to to review as I try different shapes. This has also caused me to do additional searching on the internet, where I came across a website on batards which showed a variety of shapes and short videos of how they were formed. With Peter's training in this course I will be trying some new ones. The site is at http://techno.boulangerie.free.fr/09-ReussirLeCAP/03-lesFormesEnVideo.html
