Cooking Tutorial: Bread making Methods

Nutella and chocolate truffles

 Last night I got to make truffles .  I made Nutella and chocolate truffles.  I finished had to get off my mese en plase ready.  I needed to get the bittersweet chocolate bar two of them .  Then I had to open the package and chop them up there he finally .  It has to be enough to where you can melt it.  After chopping,  I  put it into a bowl  then up at the ball over a small pot of  bowling water.  I kept staring turn actually melted are used to  spatula to help melt the chocolate .

  

 After melting the chocolate  I had to make sure that it was the right temperature .   I used  A candy thermometer for  checking the temperature of the chocolate .  The chocolate had to be 86° if it was not 86° I had to use the seending  method which is adding chocolate chips to make the temperature go to 86° .  The chocolate chips lowers the temperature and makes it able for you to pour it into the molds.   The seeding meathod  procedure is adding chocolate chips and mashing them into the chocolate Until all of the chocolate chips are melted. Once it was 86° I have poured the chocolate into the moms are using a ladle to scoop out the chocolate of the bowl.  I used the  Lehto to scoop out the chocolate and put it into a mold I filled the holes in the mold with the chocolate then I actually poured the chocolate out into the bowl wants the whole mold was filled .  After that once it was tipped over and chocolate was going back into the bottle I had to gently tap the mall road till it was actually dripping or chocolate .  Then I take the mode it's filled with chocolate and put it in the freezer and let it freeze for 10 minutes or until it hardens .  Once the chocolate is hardened then you're ready to take it out of the freezer and I had your filling. I used Nutella for some of the truffles.  I had to scoop out the nutella  with a spoon and put it inside of the mold .  Then I covered it with the remaining chocolate .  Then put it back into the freezer and let it set . 

As the truffles were  in the freezer I got  to see them Harden.  Once they were hard we took them out and then text them to see if they were hard and enough and if not you put them back in the freezer.  After they hardened enough  I took them out  of the molds very gently and out popped the shape of which you have the molds it turned out really pretty and I was actually quite happy with the result I did this also with the chocolate ones to . 

   

 After I took them out of the molds and set them on a tray and then took this picture .  I like how they turned out now that you know how to do it you can try to enjoy !!!!  Let me know in the comments section how yours turned out!!!!!

Palaye Royale music video + what I think of them

    

 first off these guys are one of my favorite all-time bands .  Although I have never seen them live I really want to so darn badly .  But this video I did not make but this was when they were doing their  warped tour  event.  One day I actually do hope to see them live and be able to meet them if I'm able to meet them I will be sure and put it directly on here for you guys to see . Because honestly I would absolutely love to have a featured just on those guys on this site because not only do I want to meet them but I want to be able to work in a few things to be able to do that so when I'm actually able to see it here first.  Because honestly I would absolutely love to have a featured just on those guys on 

this site because not only do I want to meet them but I want to be able to work in a few things to be 

able to do that so when I'm actually able to see it here first.  Not only do I think that their lead guitarist Sebastian is just absolutely hot but they are drummer Emerson he's a fantastic artist if you have not seen his work you definitely should I would highly recommend that you guys fearful to do that because his work it is so interesting to look at that it is makes you want to purchase it because it's just that good.  And I could not forget their lead singer Remington Leith  his voice oh my gosh  it's out of this world good that it just makes you just want to continue to listen to them because this sounds so good and Remington's voice it's nt sound deeply as Andys is from Black veil Brides,  but his voice is a little bit more high-pitched but it still sounds amazing . If I actually could go to See these guys live I would.  In a heartbeat I would definitely do it because you're not gonna miss out on anything even with all the shenanigans you're not going to mess anything these guys are here are so nice and so down to earth that there is so lovableto their fans that  at every show they want to meet every single person there . They're very protective of the Royal  Council.  The royal counsel to Devon is like family that they actually made on their own .  Not only have they change the lives of the world Council but I've actually sold out shows internationally .  Have sold  out all across the US and even in London ,  they even have sold out shows on their website which you can go check out .  If you want to purchase tickets to go see their show the link is down below

July 18,2019 My Birthday day!!!!

 So for me July is my birthday month .  I have a good birthday I should say but I do have a few fun things that happened and here are some of those things that actually happened during that day.

    

 So my day turned out to be really good and it started out really good to. I spent the morning on my  

way to school listening to my favorite band Palaye Royale.   

 

When I got to school that day  my Bestie Sara was waiting on me.  She had a few tricks up her sleeve because it was a very special day for me I was officially turning 29 years old .   After breakfast we actually got to go to cooking class which I absolutely love how she got to help out in the main teacher in their name Justin .  I got to help Justin make blueberry pancakes with sausage and eggs (pictured below ) 

   

 Since my favorite flavor is blueberries this was actually a rather good meal for me to have on my birthday .  Besides making food I actually got to see my friends and hang out my family that evening.   When I was hanging out with friends I didn't know that they all had a little something going on because it was my birthday when I got to class that day and then the singing to me which was a little bit embarrassing but still I want to do it I don't have a video of it but just bear with me . But later that evening I got to hang out with my family we end up going out for dinner for my birthday we went to Freddys restaurant it's a steak burger place which I actually did a review on which is actually one of my favorite places to go besides David's burgers so .  I love it when it comes to restaurants because I love choosing in the places where we get to go.  My sister even gave me a birthday pin that I wore on my birthday (Seen in the picture above ).  But for the most part I actually had a really good day got to spend time with some really good friends and even got to listen to my favorite band on my phone .  So until the next blog post I will see you guys later .

Short bread cookies

     Today I got to make  shortbread cookies . (Pictured below)  it was actually a very fun time making this recipe. Here is what you'll need for your ingredients.

• All purpose flour- 2cups
• Butter (at room temperature)-1 cup
• Salt- a pinch
• Confectioner's sugar-1/2 cup
•  almond extract - 1 tsp.         

   

 Here's how to make it but instead of using vanilla use almond extract . 

1.Beat the butter until fluffy using a handmixer, for 3-4 minutes
2.To this add the sugar and beat well for 2-3 minutes.
3.Mix in the salt and vanilla extract
4.Fold in the flour mixture.
5.Flatten the dough and wrap it in a plastic and refrigerate for at least an hour
6.Preheat oven to 350 degree F and line two baking trays with parchment paper
7.Flour a surface where you are planning to roll the dough.
8.Make small balls of dough and flatten it using the bottom of a glass.Use a cookie cutter or use a steel utensil (Like I did)to get a perfect shape.The ideal thickness is 1/4 inch. Prick them with a fork
9.Arrange them on the parchment paper leaving some space in between and chill them again for 10-15 minutes.
10.Bake for 9-10 minutes or till the cookies start turning to a golden brown color. 

 When are the ingredients are mixed together, the dough should look like this. ( pictured below) 

 

Kneed it with your hands then with a rolling pin like this till its flat. 

 

Then put in the  refrigerator .  But for not too long you won't be able to need it with your hands afterwards as easy .   After it has been in the refrigerator then you take the  dough and take it apart and roll it in a ball with your hands. Then use the  little circle cutouts with the  designs on them and put the on to the balls of dough and apply pressure on them but not too hard you don't want the doagh to go everywhere. After that then put it into the oven and let cook till golden brown.  Be careful when you take it out the pan  will be hot .  Her is what they should look like. 

  

Enjoy!!!!!!
