How I've Become a Bread Lover

How I've Become a Bread Lover

Time has passed so quickly...blink blink....and I've already passed 3 classes at Le Cordon Bleu. I love all of my classmates, my lessons learned, and my Chef. And among these amazing fantastic talented passionate Chefs, who taught me so many things that I've never known before, Chef Holly Pugliese is my favorite and the one that inspired me the most. I've never love to make bread before I met this wonderful Chef, and now...here I am...a Bread Lover and a baker, thanks to her!!!! So, before I move on to the next class (International Desserts), this entry is just a quick review of some of my favorite bread, among so many types of bread I've learned in class. And I've like to dedicate this to Chef Holly, my all-time favorite   

1) PAIN AU CHOCOLAT:

Although my leavening technique is not very good, my Pain au Chocolat does make me happy. I know the way now and the only thing I need is practicing, right Chef?
