I'm A Baker In South Of France, Ask Me Anything

OK I see, I could not understand it then, my English is not That good I have to train with you folks!!

If you need a recipe of bakery I'm here folks.

It's strange, when I listen to this kind of music
Or this one
There is some feeling that it's from far away, that life there must be good too, maybe better, that the American dream is for everybody and that it can turn men and women into wonderful stars that everybody will remember. It is hard to describe, but I love living "le rêve Américain" through music.

It really annoys me to not be able to describe it correctly like I want, my vocabulary is limited, my wife helps me a lot on this thread I thank her for this I can tell you that when someone ask me for a recipe, it's the words of my wife, not mine, I just speak in French and she type in English for you folks, she just want some kisses in return and me like a French gentleman I offer flowers and kisses

4h15 in the morning and I am talking about the american dream on internet and my nephew has made a wonderful Pissaladière, aaahhh he is becoming a man Baker soon he will not be a baby baker anymore I can see it!

But eating a Pissaladière full of onions at 4h15 in the morning it is a little heavy for the stomach

Hello folks how are you today it is almost 3 o'clock in the morning!

As was already said before... for a baker you seem to have a lot of time to waste at 4 o'clock in the morning.... GLP is damn interesting, isn't it? Can't prey yourself loose.

Lucky you, having your "nephew" and that other one working for you, aren't you?

People probably asked this already earlier in the thread but have you experimented with gluten free baking?

I stopped eating wheat over 10 years ago. What little baking I've done since then was good, but hopeless now since I'm practically vegan (not that I meant to be but I had to give up dairy products they were causing me a lot of problems.) Took a break from eggs too a few months ago. Down to some canned salmon or tuna once in a while, otherwise vegetarian for many decades.

Rambling here sorry! Was curious if you tried the gluten free flours and what you thought. Is the wheat free diet popular where you are? I quit because I was getting major symptoms from it that went away as soon as I quit.

Hello, yes I have tried 2 gluten free flours for different recipes, buckwheat flour (I had to translate the word)
And I also tried quinoa flour which disappointed me.

I'm not a vegan at all but your point of view is respectable

Good to see you back! I wondered what happened to you.

I know the life of a boulanger and all the hours that have to be put in.

Do you agree with Nostradamus prophecy that Napoleon was the first antichrist?
Hitler the 2nd....The third? Macron just kidding

We have one employee who is about to give birth so we have more work to do, I have slept 4 hours yesterday because I had to help my wife with the clients (I hate that )

Friend Alex, where are you?

I hope all is OK down there at the boulangerie!

Hello, I lost my internet yesterday and the employee who is missing is giving me a lot of work and very short time for sleeping, to be honest it is difficult for me. I have contacted an agency to find someone to substitute, there are only people with no experience, it worries me a lot..

I'd help because I love bread and pie but I'm also no experience sorry!

Got good puff pastry recipe?

What do you mean by puff pastry sir/miss? If you could be more precise so I could find exactly what you would like

I make turnovers and cream horns with them. We buy the puff pastry sheets frozen but I'd rather make my own pastry sheets.

Hello, how are you? Well if you live in France I would be OK to meet you if you know how to welcome the clients and how to give them advices. May I ask you where do you come from?
