Made a batch of pizza dough, froze half and made the rest for dinner. Next time I think I'll double the batch.
Made a batch of chocolate truffles this time I wanted to coat them with tempered dark bittersweet chocolate. I had never tempered chocolate before so it was a great experiment. I was doing it sous vide so it should be easy right? Totally control the temperature and it's easy.
On my third attempt of heating and cooling a pound of chocolate it finally tempered. I'd assumed directions to temper chocolate with different methods would work the same. When I checked out sous vide directions they called to cool it more than bring it up to work with it. Much better and now I know I don't have to use a whole pound of chocolate. Holy cow these truffles are good.
