Bread
I know a girl, she can't make homemade bread to save her life. No matter what she does it always, always comes out dense and thick and never really rises well. She is not discouraged as her desire to make homemade bread for her family had not dissipated. I will get it right, oh wait, I mean she will. Nevermind, my cover is blown!
I have struggled to make good homemade bread, I have tried several different recipes, I have replaced my yeast, several times actually, I have let the bread rise longer that needed. What never occurred to me was that I need to reform my kneading technique. I follow this cute little blog called Domessticated. I love it. She is creative and is constantly posting great ideas. Well, I was scrolling through her posts and found, How to hand knead bread dough. It has a video from Epicurious, I watched the video and a light went on in my head. I realized I need to practice my kneading technique. I am off to practice, wish me luck. Until next time.
P.S. We have not yet made the homemade marshmallows, life is just getting in the way, but they are still on the list of things to do.
