Baking 110: Introduction to Baking

Normally I am a huge fan of baking, as it was my first love prior to actual cooking, but when baking 110 came around I was less then stoked. Having a Nazi as a teacher is never easy, but I did learn a great deal from her. She was brash and rude, but in the end I walked away with more knowledge of baking then I ever though possible!

We started with the basics, french bread and sourdough, and by the end I was making my own homemade pie dough with a beautiful blueberry filling (which my Daddy just loved!)
