Artisan Breads - Day 7 & 8

Coming off a long holiday weekend and technical difficulties kept me from posting yesterday. Nothing like replacing dead batteries in your keyboard with dead batteries. Oh well...back on track today. Tuesday was day 7 of artisan breads and that brought us to the Olive Loaf and Zopf Swiss Braided. I gotta say that after doing two braided breads (Zopf and Challah) I do enjoy making them. They both look cool and taste great. If you like Calamata olives you would definitely like the olive bread.

Today was day 8 with only two days left of Artisan Breads. In addition to the Cranberry Walnut and the Miche that we made today, we prepped for the Artisan Bread practical that will take place tomorrow. For our practical we'll have to make Baguettes and Ciabatta so we had to make the starters for them both this afternoon right before we left for the day. Ahhh I can almost smell "classical cakes and tarts" which is right around the corner and kicking off next Tuesday.  But as for today's two breads, I liked them both.
