Today was a good day at the bakery despite the rain that came off an on throughout the day. I am always surprised when the unexpected happens, like today with so many customers. We sold I think 36 croissants in total too. That is awesome!!
i had an order from someone coming from Germany. He wanted six round loaves with olives and roasted peppers. I am sorry I didn’t make seven so I could have one as they turned out great. He also took six baguettes and ten croissants. While here he also took three beers, four mini empanadas and 20 cookies. That was the single best order to date. Oh how I would like four of them a day, seven days a week.
The problem as I am learning is that it is hard to fulfill the orders. Because I need conditions at a certain state to make croissants I cannot bake for one to two hour shift before. My work table is also small (60cm x 200cm) which means it is hard to roll out the croissants. When I do is work it into the folds and then before I am ready to cut out the shapes I half the dough and store half in the refrigerator while completing the other half. When done I pull out that second half and complete. I ahould also mention I am happy to see the croissants back on track again. But I must remember to not try to rush them and keep to the program to minimize problems with the bakes!!! If I forget you can remind me.
...
I am really looking forward to tomorrow. Today is another 15.5 hour day but I will make sure I am done in 8 hours since we are only open until one and then I will go home and sleeeeeeep.
Now I will start cleaning so I can leave at 9:15 or so and run home and repeat the routine for bed.
Thank you so much for reading today’s entry!! 🌻❤️
