101 in 1001: [no. 09] learn to bake bread


and then there was bread!


i made a few misguided attempts at bread a few years ago, but the result was always something dense and, while not actually inedible, not really appetizing either. what troubles me is that i’m not entirely sure what i did differently on this time around, other than following the directions very carefully. baking is science, people. respect the science.

the recipe, courtesy of kidchamp, is here. it really is pretty fool proof. now i’m excited about trying out this recipe that a friend sent me. it’s basically a bucket of dough that lives in your fridge and you can pull out a chunk, let it rise for an hour, bake it, and instant fresh bread. awesome.
