Pretzels 101: the class



This was so much fun sharing one of my passions and favorite recipes with some of my friends, and in a commercial kitchen (even though I had to push Gina into it)!  This post has been sitting on the back burner for a while, so I have to share.  We made my sourdough pretzels in a catering kitchen, and a couple bottles of wine helped!

Attention, class...
Too cute to resist this photo.
No grapes were crushed and fermented in the production of this shot.


My pupils for the day.  Ham in the middle.

Ioana gets with the program.
Blah, blah, blah, in one ear and out the other.  Can I just go back to my desk and write out a proposal now?

Somewhere about this time, the real Chef looked over in trepidation.  Hey, we weren't in your space!


No, you can't spell out your name with the dough; stick with the program.

Boiling time.

And, ready for the oven.  Good class!

And the girls were good sports.  A good time was had by all.That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
