FYI - if you have a recipe that calls for a gallon of eggs, crack about 72 of them. You'll be close.It was a good week. I'm starting to feel comfortable in front of the mixers and ovens. I have yet to memorize all of the baking temperatures and times but that will come. The days fly by and I was surprised when Saturday got here. Saturday's are the busiest days of the week. This morning I knocked out 24 loaves of sourdough bread, 300 slider buns, a few hundred breadsticks, a tray of baguettes, a couple dozen buttermilk biscuits, a couple hundred jalapeno biscuits and pecan pie filling requiring 72 eggs. They sell little 3" pecan pies in the cafe and they are quite popular. I haven't mastered the two handed egg crack but I at least keep the presence of egg shells to a minimum. I figure that counts for something.
I did the 2:00am - 10:00am shift on Thursday of this week for the experience. It involved everything I mentioned above as well as all of the muffins, danishes, croissants and artisan bread. Yikes - I came home and took a nap.
