Daring Bakers Tuiles

The daring Baker Challenge this month was Tuiles. Something light and fun. We were to pick one of three recipes and bake them, shape them, and pair them. I thought I would be so clever and make the savory batch and pair it with a salad to stay with my new healthy living plan. Well...



It was a good plan but not a very wise one. I made my batch which included a whole stick of butter. Then I tried to make my bowls without a stencil. I planned on rustic salad bowls. So I spread the dough out on my Silpad. There didn't seem to be that much dough, so I got two large circles. No room for error. I added Parmesan cheese and black pepper to my dough. Things were looking promising. I baked them which took longer then I expected. Why? Because I had two huge thick circles of dough to bake. There was nothing delicate about these tuiles.

I took them out of the oven and immediately draped them over a bowl to shape them but they were way to thick to form. So.., We had a slightly curved big Parmesan pepper cracker with our favorite salad for dinner. A very fattening huge Parmesan pepper cracker. I should of went with the sweet and gave half away! I'm chalking this one up to experience.

This month's challenge is brought to us by Karen of Bake My Day and Zorra of 1x umruehren bitte aka Kochtopf. They have chosen Tuiles from The Chocolate Book by Angélique Schmeink and Nougatine and Chocolate Tuiles from Michel Roux.
