My Thoughts on Recipes

Recipes in baking are very important, for things like cookies and cakes, but I would argue that for bread it is more about technique: getting a feel for the dough, and the environment of your home. Since recipes are a starting point I will be including them in this blog, but keep in mind that the technique of handling the dough is the most important thing. For instance if a recipe calls for 11/4 cup of water to 4 cups of flour keep in mind that this is not set in stone. On humid days you may need either more flour or less water and on dry days the opposite. Look for a white bread recipe within the next few days. Good Day everyone.
