Baking Bread Tips From A Failed Novice.


Disclaimer: These tips are not at all helpful.

My first tip is that you should tie your hair back before you start kneading . Unless you have someone at the ready who is well versed with making a ponytail . Which I do not have. I do not have daughters so my husband has no experience with elastic hair bands and hair. Sigh. 

Do not follow a bread making recipe on your phone. Unless you have someone well versed in reading recipes to help you. I do not. Sigh.

Also make sure your glasses are on your face so you can read the recipe. Basic right? Well apparently not.

These three  tips are really important because once you start kneading your hands get very sticky with the dough. 


By the way.... if you do touch your face with floury doughy hands it won't be like in the movies......



Oh and adding extra yeast to the recipe because you don’t have strong flour (only multi purpose flour) is not a solution. ....... Or at least that is what I heard from a friend. Because , obviously, my bread was fantastic. So fantastic that we ate it all up before I could take a picture of it. 

Sorry. Maybe next time.

These bread baking tips from a 'failed novice' are surprisingly relatable! Tying back hair, keeping glasses on, and avoiding phone recipes without a recipe-reader assistant – it's the honest, everyday struggle we can all empathize with in the kitchen. Thanks for the entertaining and relatable insights into the challenges of bread making!
