Tik-Tok yet again influenced me this week for my #learningproject for EDTC 300.
An account I follow on Tik-Tok is @mxriyum. Mariam is one outstanding baker. On this account they bake everything from cheese rolls, homemade bread, and everything in between. Mariam is extremely talented and everything they make looks like it is out of a magazine. I saw Mariam post a video of "Boujie Pretzels" AKA Thyme Pretzels, which influenced me to make pretzels this week. I saved the video for inspiration (see below)
While I was creating these pretzels, I came to a stop when I had to shape them. Honestly the beautiful little knot is a little intimidating. I was just getting used to working with dough, and now I had to figure out how to make this unique shape. I turned to YouTube to guide me. I found this video to be pretty helpful during the shaping process:
I know I said last week that the Focaccia was my favourite thing I have baked thus far, but I may have a tie... these salty and soft pretzels were pretty darn good. I would highly suggest making them. I would not say they were nearly as easy as last weeks focaccia, but they were worth the shaping, boiling, egg wash and salt sprinkling. If you're thinking of making the pretzels, I want to share the recipe I used. I follow Amy's Recipe Book on Instagram, which is where I found the recipe I used to make these pretzels. Amy's Recipe Books is local to Regina and creates family friendly recipes. I used this recipe to make the pretzels.
Let me know in the comments below if you follow Amy or if you try this delicious recipe!
I've been using Canva for about one year now. As of late, it has come extra handy during my pre-internship. But this week, I was influenced by Haley Begrand's "Canva For Teachers: Series", to try my #learningproject using Canva. This was my first time using Canva and my own images. Previously when I used Canva, I just used Canva's stock pictures or added "spice" through other aspects that Canva provides. I honestly LOVE Canva, and suggest you check out Haley's blog and Youtube videos if you're interested in learning more about the creation tool (especially if you're a teacher or soon-to-be teacher!) I find this creation tool to be very user-friendly and provides so many FREE options to create appealing visuals for just about anything.
Sidenote: I just noticed that Canva has Instagram Story templates... I always wondered how people I follow always have such beautiful stories... I am SO going to try that out next time I make an Instagram story!
Stay tuned for next weeks #learningproject creation. For now, here is my inspiration:

I agree Jesse, Tik-Tok has some great videos that are engaging. I was so hesitant to actually get the app at first, but I have had it for almost a year now and I have been so inspired and influence by the videos I have watched. I am so glad I got the app.

Thank you so much Sequoia! Pretzels were the trickiest baking I have done to date, but I am proud of how they turned out. You should check out Amy's Recipe Book on Instagram. Her recipes are easy to follow.

Hey Branden, thanks for the kind comment. You should definitely try making pizza dough. I totally think you could do it. If you'd like to try the recipe I used a few weeks back, check out this blog post with more details https://misshaleymillerblog.weebly.com/learningproject/valentines-day-special-lt3 . I will be sure to keep an eye on your blog to see if you try homemade pizza dough out :)

Oooo! Sounds very yummy. Filled pretzels may be too advanced for me though. But I will keep that in mind, thanks for the suggestion :) Also you should for sure try this recipe out. I won't lie, it was a tad tricky (a lot of new skills in one recipe for me), but it was still manageable!! Let me know if you try the pretzels out :)
