I grew up with a mom who loves to bake. When I was still a kid, she would always bake me a chocolate cake covered with colorful sugar icing for my birthday. As I grew older, I eventually sparked the same passion and I am now whipping up experimental baked goodies in my own kitchen. It comes without saying that baking has been one of those things I enjoy doing. That’s why when the Philippine Baking Institute Davao invited some bloggers for a 1-day bread and pastry workshop, I did not hesitate to join.
During the lecture part of the workshop, we learned about the science behind bread and pastry making. It’s amazing how much science goes into making breads. Although for the most part, the lecture sounded too technical for most of us, I actually taught it was fascinating. Sure, it was a lot to take in, but interesting nonetheless.
Everybody’s favorite part was obviously the actual baking. We made Loaf Bread, Sweet Dough, and the classic Pan de Sal. And mind you, we made the loaf bread dough by hand and it was no joke. We probably spent about an hour kneading the dough. Talk about arms workout! As for the pastries, we made brownies, butterscotch, and pineapple tart.
After the workshop, I was truly inspired to practice more at home. In fact, I’m actually thinking of enrolling myself in one of their basic courses, but I have yet to find time for it. Hopefully, in the near future, if my work schedule permits.
