learn to bake

Hurrah to the basics of baking!

Some people on here are weird.

just like any art form it will take a lifetime to master, but i feel pretty damn confident in declaring that i have learned to bake.

Baking is probably more of a metaphor to me. Mainly, the transformative magic of many elements becoming something greater than the sum of their parts. You measure, you mix, you add heat, and and you wait. Seems like a lovely meditation to me. Knowing how to making a fresh, tasty loaf of bread is a nice perk too.

Since I was a child, I love cakes! Everytime I look at it, I am amazed by the way it was designed, especially fondant cakes. I am searching the web for someone who offers to teach baking but could not afford it. There’s a lot of recipes that I can find on the web, but the problem is we don’t have oven at home!

banana bread with carob chips! sooooooo goooooood!!! also a kickass rustic bread so airy it almost felt like ciabatta. two of my experiments failed this week, but these two totally made up for it.

I’ve been baking ever since I could remember. I bake everything from pies to bread. I have my own cabinet in the kitchen for my main baking ingredients. I love to bake and it helps me stop thinking about my problems. Everyone should learn how to bake. The only thing I hate is washing the dishes but its worth it. I also teach my god-children how to bake.

so far i’ve baked two different loaves of bread: a basic french loaf, and a rich, moist, loaf that almost tastes like a buttermilk biscuit (i don’t know what it’s called). i also baked a batch of chocolate chip peanut butter oatmeal cookies. they were great! all 3 recipes were made vegan. i’m loving baking so far!

This is a family trait that I’d love to learn. First I get some recipe books.

i’d like to learn how to bake cup cakes and cookies and different pastries so when my little boy has a birthday i can have all those things for his friends. problem is… i could never really bake except for the mixes that come ready in a box and you only add eggs and water, everything else: DISASTER
