Super Tuesday into Wednesday (and Thursday) Part 1

Today was the start of the couple of days that I had been dreading, so much so that I didn't get a lot of sleep last night.

I had 40 Ciabatta Rolls and 4 loaves to make in the morning and deliver, then a whole host of prep to do for Weds morning, when I have to do 20 assorted Cheese rolls, samples of Olive bread and Biscuits, and another 30 Ciabatta. And on thursday, I have more Ciabatta and Sourdough to make.

 Oh yes and Yvonne is making shortbread as well.

Yesterday (Monday) I made the ferments for the first 40 Ciabatta, and this morning I made the doughs,

adding 150g of chopped mixed Olives to one batch (2600g)

 

I left them to rise whilst I baked the Spelt and Soda Breads for Oats, who were advertising in the window last night,

 

and then shaped the rolls. They are for a BBQ at Millie and Me over the weeekend,



and I used my new space saving rack to prove and then cool the rolls.

 

I think they came out looking rather nice.

 

We will have to go to the BBQ and see if we can buy some of them,back! Suitably filled with chicken or a burger.

Meanwhile, Yvonnes Shortbread is looking amazing, I feel a cup of tea and a sample coming on.

Don't miss tomorrows update on the rest of my baking this week.
