The first day of Baking Principles and Viennoiserie was a little review but also some crazy ass math going on. I am learning baker's conversions. It all has to do with 100% being your largest quantity and making everything follow suit.
The only ingredients for French Bread is flour, water, salt and yeast. We just scaled our ingredients and rolled the dough around like clay. But I must say it was such a pleasant experience to roll the dough over and over until it was smooth. So much nicer than rolling actual clay around.
I remember in high school ceramics class my teacher said don't let that clay push you around. The rough sand in the clay hurt my hands and I never really pursued the wheel. But this...This is sooo nice!
