Puff Pastry

Today we started the puff pastry unit. Unfortunately I have nothing to show for it, as we didn't finish baking anything. We made quick puff pastry, which is not to hard, but I wouldn't necessarily call it quick. Then we rolled it out to make palmiers and cheese straws. We rolled out and sugared dough for the palmiers and then rolled them up. I can't wait to actually make them, I bet they're gonna be good!

We also started to make a tomato tart with regular tart dough and lots of cut up veggies. The chef then cooked the veggies and pureed them to make a tomato sauce. Next class we will add eggs and cheese to the tomato puree to make a custard that we will bake in the tart shell.
