know what sucks? krispy kreme donuts suck [View all]

[SwampG8r]

i am by training a pastry chef
i work the grill in a restaurant because around 25 years ago i found out the grill guy gets on average 2 bucks an hour more than the pantry guy doing desserts
we all do what we have to do so i mostly bake on my own time
every once in a while the paths converge so its ok
but by training i am a baker and my personal specialty is breads
i was taken under the wing of a master baker (get the jokes over now please) at around 18 and he taught me about bread
i will tell you what he told me and what i have told every baker i got to work with since
bread is a living thing
bread is the whos calling out to horton
it has to be treated with the same respect you give another living creature who is sustaining you
the bread never fails
only you fail in making the bread its happiest

now back to baking the best and maybe least appreciated baking is your neighbor hood donut guy
he got up at midnight and coddled and loved his dough
he carefully proofed it and while it rose he mixed and cut and fried his cake production
then he brought the bread to its peak and fried it golden
he flipped those doughnuts with a skill that nick mason would envy
once perfect they are cooled and glazed and fed to the hungry donut loving public
that is one hell of a lot of human involvement
krispy kreme squirts theirs out of a nozzle and the yeast speed rises in the grease
then they are sugar slathered while still hot
its sickening to think of
eating fried dough squirted from the sphincter of some souless machine
dunkin donuts rules because they make doughtnuts
they dont squirt donuts out there
