Baking Challenge

Wellington

Give your pie a name based on the ingredients and decoration.

Wisconsin Wellington. There are cheese curds and bratwurst for the filling and lovely, flaky pastry. I also put apple slices in the filling and wrapped the filling in regular ham. I cooked the bottom of the pastry first before I put the filling in to get no soggy bottom.

Tell us about your proudest moment – or humble failure – in this week’s baking challenge.

When I cut the Wellington and there was a crispy puff pastry and tender apples with melted cheese and bratwurst!

Describe how you added a Wisconsin twist to your creation.

I used butter from Organic Valley, local Organic Prairie ham with Westby meat locker german bratwurst alongside Westby cheese curds.

How did you do?

Rocked it.
