learning to be an intuitive baker: first notes


ok, so between dissertating and zoejo and my already too often ignored hobbies of knitting and gardening, im excited about this new one: bread baking. You do not have to have lots of time for a hobby if you do not spend a lot of time at it. So, every once in a while ill try my hand at baking bread. its going to be the most awesome new skill im about to gain. i love it allready! the house smelled so very very fabulous last night with the first brown loaves. a little on the funny shaped side. but so really really delicious. so here are my first notes on my journey to become an intuitive yeast bread maker (that means, to understand the basic components of bread and then play and create and make food for family and friends).

great website and materials: king aurthur

notes: two cups liquid. six cups flour. 1Tbl each yeast sugar and salt.
add salt after first cup of flour. yeast doesnt like salt.

more to come.
