This first picture is of Lina polishing off some chocolate cake I made for no reason other than the fact it sounded good. I guess that comes with pregnancy. :) Two weekends ago I took a baking class that lasted all day Saturday. It was way over my head in some areas but I ended up learning something and trying some new things out at home.
I learned how to make flaky pastry dough so I tried it out in the picture below. It turned out really well!
I filled it with ham, leak, spices and some sour cream and it was really good!
I also learned how to make a Zopf bread. You can make it a little sweet if you want to. I was quite happy with my first attempts so I guess the class really paid off. Jan called the class a good "investment" in the family. :)

Baking class sounds really fun.

So fun! The things you baked look sooooo yummy! That Zopf bread looks like the Jewish Challah bread. Do you know if they are similar?
I have thought about taking a class in bread baking as well, since I am not so good working with yeast - we'll see...!
your zopf looks perfect!!

Thanks all! Shie, I'm not sure if the Zopf bread has any relation to the Jewish Challah bread. I'll have to do some asking around. I encourage you to do the baking class. Working with yeast doesn't scare me as much anymore. :)
Blessings!
