Culinary Fundamentals; Friday, First Period [03/19].
Sorry, everyone. You were not making sausages today.
But what you were going to be making was clearly just as thrilling.
"Good morning, everyone," Ignis's voice had a slight chipperness to its usual precise timbre thanks to a particularly good cup of coffee that morning, and a clear eagerness to get on with today's exciting lesson. "Today we're going to cover yet another important, versatile, and significant staple to most balanced diets and that staple is bread. Now, people have been making bread for as long as they have been growing the wheat to make it from, and since bread is essentially just a paste of flour and water cooked, it's simple make-up make it endlessly open to variations and styles. Now, as far as this planet goes..."
At this point, if you weren't expecting an exhaustive history of the thing you were making, have you even been to this class? And while Ignis certainly mentioned the connection between the advent of bread and the usefulness of beer in those societies, you were definitely getting a bad joke about how, no, sorry, you will not be making beer in this class.
"And now...onto the actual bread making. For the sake of time, we will be skipping the step of adding the yeast to your mixture to let it rise; I have already prepared that for you, but it is a very simple process..."
After explaining how he had prepared the yeast and the dough in the early hours of that morning for them, he then went into the process of kneading and punchings processes with the dough, discussing what else could be added to make the bread more interesting, and then they could get to baking.
"Now, since there is some time before we see how our breads turned out, we can use this time to talk about bread and its various uses in the meantime. Perhaps we can whip up some quick spreads to put on the bread? Anyone know how to make their own butter? What about ingredients to put into a phenominal sandwich? Let's use this time to come up with some new recipes."
Especially since he imagined, after that aroma of fresh baked bread started to fill the room, they'd all start feeling just a little bit hungry!
