Tokyo Trip Jan 09 - Baking lesson

My dream came true,I got to attend a single baking lesson during my recent trip to Tokyo.

Before my departure, been searching on-line for baking class, found this chained cooking studio offer 1st timer a trail lesson for only Yen 500 for a single lesson (including ingredients & you get to bring back a loaf of 3 finished bread plus a bonus homemade jam )

Look at the cakes couses they have for different stage , How I wish I could stay there & attend everyone of them.

This is the brochure of the trial lesson which I have attend.

The chocolate layer bread which we saw on e-pan website , after final-proofing ,before sending to the oven


Finishing bread, next to it is the addition jam which they suggested goes well with this bread, rasberry & clementine, made it while the bread is still in the oven.

Thanks to my Japanese friend Ms Eri for her help & joined me there as interpreter. Is absolutely a fantastic learning experience .
