Snow and baking


So this morning I woke up to snow flurries out my window. It went on for an hour and then was sunny for several hours. And it is now snowing again while I type this. Not sticking to the ground yet, but should soon I think. Pretty awesome.


This week I'm having a baking seminar. Yesterday we worked on yeast dough, making an awesome Apple Strudel and a fancy, twisted loaf of bread (half of it shown above, after being mostly eaten). The loaf was simple, simply roll out 3 rolls of dough, and then braid them together, pinch the ends so it doesn't come apart, brush with egg wash so it shines and then bake for a half hour at 160 degrees celsius.
On a side note, it is my sister's Birthday today, so a big Happy Birthday und Viel Glück zum Geburtstag to her!
