Pepperoni Pizza

Hi

I said it in my last blog that you will be seeing me blogging about bread, right?  Here you go, my Pepperoni Pizza.

I have attended a 4-day bread making foundation course on theoretical and practical part.  In class, we discussed and talked a lot about fermentation and proofing.  We also talked about how yeast helps in fermentation process and carbon dioxide that makes the bread rise.   Surely, making bread is about chemistry experiments.   The process of making bread seems simple but there’s a lot of chemistry to it than meets the eye.  There’s science going on to the loaf of bread that you bake.

 Pizza dough is one of the simplest dough which I learn in class.  It’s straight dough method which doesn’t require sponge dough.

Besides learning, I also got to make new friends.  It’s always so nice to meet with like-minded people and I really enjoyed chatting and exchanging baking tips with one other.  

HAPPY BAKING!
