Today I went to
the dollar store to buy a bunch of jars for my flower collection. I have potato
flour, rice flour, hazelnut flour, corn flour, almond flour, coconut flour, chickpea
flour, all-purpose flour, bread flour, whole-wheat flour and pastry flour. And
today I bought a brick of yeast and a rather generous amount of malt.
My name is Chris.
I am a bread and pastry maker.
I got rid a bunch
of glasses and dessert vessels that I never use on some of my open shelves in
my kitchen and put all my basic baking needs there within easy reach. I have a
kitchen to die for. I have half a wall of natural light and it is terribly
efficiently designed. My counter could land a 747 — and all in a one bedroom.
I also got a
large square pizza stone on which to bake my bread and a metal pan and chain of
metal balls to heat up with the oven when I am bread making. I will toss a
half-cup of water into the pan and onto the balls to create steam each time I
bake pastry or bread.
Now I am ready to
try baking some bread in my electric oven. I have to be prepared for far less
beautiful outcomes than I got using the professional ovens at school, but I am
going to give it a go because je suis Chris, pâtissier et boulanger.
