lesson one: read the instructions. turns out this recipe needed to rise for 12-18 hours. so i quickly searched for a different recipe to attempt. man, the pictures looked awesome. light, flaky & delicious. mine, not so much. mine ended up being a hard ball basically.
lesson two: dont take your frustration & stress out when making bread.
lesson three: when taking the bread out of the oven, its gonna be hot. dont burn yourself.
lesson four: make sure da hubs isnt playing xbox so when you do burn yourself he can come to your rescue.
i didnt really want to completely fail on my first resolution of the year...so i attempted the original recipe. i remembered my previous lessons learned, and was pleasantly surprised when IT ACTUALLY TURNED OUT! we tried some variations too...added herbs, cheese and of course garlic (da hubs' favorite "super food")
this recipe was super easy (the hardest parts were remembering to make it ahead of time and to wait patiently for it to finish cooking because it smelled sooo good) da hubs asked if i could make this every day. maybe ill have to teach him...
so i guess that makes me one for one. not a bad average. ill leave you with is, i think february is gonna be a good month. for a few different reasons. hopefully ill blog about them BEFORE the end of the month!
