Okay, so, I’ve been on this quest to find a decent tote bag forever. I mean, a really good one. You know, something that looks cool, but also does the job. And, guys, I think I’ve finally struck gold. I’m talking about this Bread Puffer Pouch thing I recently got my hands on. It’s kinda like a tote, but also kinda like a pouch, and ...

Okay, here is my sharing about finding 40% heavy whipping cream: So, the other day, I really needed to get my hands on some 40% heavy whipping cream.

I knew it could be a little bit of a challenge to find, ...

Today, I wanted to try something new and refreshing, so I decided to make some Sicilia lemon juice. I’ve heard a lot about it and figured, why not give it a shot?

Okay, here is my sharing about buying high-gluten flour: So I tried to make some bread the other day. I followed the recipe and used the flour I had at home, but the bread came out kinda flat. Then I remembered this term, “high-gluten flour,” which I saw before, maybe, from some baking video? I thought, maybe that’s what I need for my bread. First, ...

Today I wanted to bake a cake, and I realized how important it is to have a good flour sifter. I remember I bought one a while ago, so I dug it out from the back of my cupboard. It was a bit dusty, but I figured, no problem, I’ll just give it a quick wash. First, I tried to run it under the tap. ...

Alright, folks, gather ’round, let me tell you about my latest kitchen adventure. So, I’ve been making pizzas at home for a while now, you know, the usual stuff – dough, sauce, cheese, the whole shebang. But I was always struggling with one thing: getting the damn pizza onto the baking stone without making a mess. I tried everything, from sliding it off a cutting ...

Okay, here’s my experience making puff pastry garlic bread: So, I decided to make some garlic bread the other day, but I wanted to try something a little different. I’d seen some recipes online using puff pastry, and I thought, “Why not?” It seemed easy enough, and I already had a box of frozen puff pastry in my freezer. First, I took out one sheet ...

Okay, so, I’ve been messing around with a new toy in the kitchen lately – a metal dough scraper. Sounds boring, right? But trust me, this thing is a game changer. I’ve always struggled with sticky dough, especially when I’m making bread or pastries. It’s like, no matter how much flour I use, the dough ends up sticking to my hands, the countertop, everything! It’s ...

Alright, today I’m gonna walk you through how I made some super simple biscuits. The best part? No baking powder needed! Just regular all-purpose flour and a few other things you probably already have. Gathering the Ingredients First, I grabbed all my ingredients. I used about 2 cups of all-purpose flour, a pinch of salt, some sugar (just a spoonful or so), a good chunk ...

Today, I decided to mess around with low gluten flour and see what all the fuss was about. I’ve always been a regular all-purpose flour kind of guy, but hey, why not try something new, right?
