I may have been out of my mind, but I joined the Daring Bakers for a little bit of ... something.It seemed like a good idea at the time.
I was up half the night (I happened to be up half the night in a head-cold-induced trance) pondering fillings and rollings and my arms .. what's the underside of the forearm? .. were sore for two days after the rolling, we definitely need a rolling pin on a wheel, rather than a big fat stick that requires much awkward wrist twists.
Was it worth it?
My Danish Braids. It made a truckload of pastry and with my offcuts there is a little family of darling croissants.
I think I forgot to take photos once the croissants were done, but they are sugar and sp
ice and all things nice.Apricot Almond Danish braid. and below, apple.
I am worn out! ....but vaguely proud.
