Brioche, Croissant, Puff Pastry

It's been a busy week at school! I made 3 different types of pastry dough, Brioche, Croissant, and Puff Pastry. Tuesday, I made Brioche à Tête and a Braided Brioche. I found these to be easier and more fun for me since I've had a lot of experience working with bread dough before. I also made Pain aux Raisins, Croissants, and Pain au Chocolat (all with insane amounts of butter...it's the French way!). Today was fun, because even though class was at 8:15, I didn't feel so rushed in making my Chaussons aux Pommes (apple turnovers...yum!) and Pithiviers (a round puff pastry filled with almond cream). Now I have the whole afternoon to walk off the butter and to get ready for cake tomorrow!
