It ain't easy kids..
So it does make HER 'smile' when SHE reads comments on-line such as "anyone can plait four strands of dough for goodness sake" and other such pearls of sarcastic wisdom..
SHE would name and shame this particular group of women who cast their bitchy comments on-line and into cyber space but with age comes wisdom.. and SHE chooses not to be ripped apart by these trolls who have nothing better than to drip their venom.
The four plait refers to a bread loaf, this was Monica Galetti's test on Masterchef last night for the four contestants, they were given a bowl of dough and asked to make: 2 plain Rolls, a pointy ended Baquette and a four plait Loaf.
Easy.. YOU think.. haha.. YOU are not a contestant in a show, being filmed in a tv studio with the cameras turning, with a couple of millions viewers watching your every move and ten minutes to do it in..
SHE and a friend talked about it today.. they took
a piece of wool and cut it into four pieces and then the fun began..
And this was not dough! In which YOU are attempting to keep the air and not get into one hell of a messy mess..
They laughed themselves silly.. three plait.. no sweat but four or eight.. yes, Master Baker Paul Hollywood bakes a wonderful eight plait loaf..
So the next time YOU see one of these beautiful creations.. remember the deft and nimble fingers of the baker as he or she plaits over and under with the strands of dough..
Better still.. make a basic dough, put it aside to let it rise, then try it YOURSELF.. not so easy, is it?

I like to watch cooking shows & I do get some ideas. When it comes to fancy stuff, such as plaiting pastery, I just watch the experts do it, kinda like I'm watching a wonderful talent review. I'd never criticize and I'd never try to do it either. I know my limitations.
ReplyDeleteSHE is going to send YOU the link to the show where the four plait was plaited..
ReplyDeleteSHE intends to try this in the new Year.. one should always try something in the culinary department that one has never cooked before!
