Week 27 Challah

After an interesting week 26, this week the menu was really quite boring. We made muffins, savarin, walnut bread and challah. 

Muffin was an easy recipe and didn't seem interesting at all. The savarin, we have made them before during our first stage. So this was not an interesting day in the kitchen.

Challah is a festive Jewish braided bread eaten on Sabbath. It is a white bread and the interesting part was the braiding of the bread. 

Walnut bread

The walnut bread was a white bread with walnuts in it. So again, it was not very interesting. I think our walnut breads were a little under baked. It could have been in the oven for a  little longer to give it a better colour. 

Savarin with fresh fruits and whipped cream

Savarin, we made one ring and a few small ones in dariole moulds. The funny thing about the savarin was that I put ours in the middle of the oven and when I went back to check it after some time, it was still not ready. So i waited and kept checking after a few minutes. Then my partner came to check with me and she said "Chen! that is not ours!" Ours is on the left! Oh no!!! she was right, our names was on the one on the left! It was a little too brown by the time we took it out. Ha Ha.... someone pushed ours to the left and had theirs in the middle. But luckily the big ring one was fine, just the smaller ones were a little too cooked. Lesson of the day, make sure you look for your name and recognise your tray.
