Okay, so I’ve been getting into this whole bread-baking thing lately, and let me tell you, it’s been a journey! I decided to try using my convection oven because I heard it can make the crust extra crispy. Here’s how it went down: First, I gathered all my ingredients. You know, the usual stuff – flour, water, yeast, salt. I followed a basic bread recipe...

Okay, so, today I wanted to mess around with this thing called a “sensitive scale.” I’d heard about these scales that can supposedly tell you how sensitive you are as a person. Sounds kinda woo-woo, but I was curious. First, I dug around online to find a decent scale. There’s a bunch of them, but I eventually settled on one called the Highly Sensitive Person...

Okay, so today I tried making mac n cheese bread bowls. Let me tell you, it was quite an adventure! First off, I gathered all the stuff I needed. I’m talking pasta, like, a whole box of elbow macaroni, a bunch of different cheeses – cheddar, Gruyere, and some Parmesan, because why not? Then there’s the usual suspects: butter, flour, milk, and some spices. Oh,...

Okay, so today I wanted to mess around with this stuff called ammonium baking powder. I’d heard a bit about it and was curious, you know? It’s supposed to make cookies and crackers super light and crispy, which sounds pretty awesome. First, I got my hands on some of this baking ammonia. It’s actually called ammonium bicarbonate, but whatever, it’s the same thing. It’s this...

Okay, here’s my blog post about making a gingerbread mold, just like you asked: Alright, so I wanted to make one of those super cool gingerbread houses, you know, the ones that look like they came straight out of a fairytale? I’ve always been kinda jealous of people who could pull those off. I mean, who wouldn’t want a tiny, edible house covered in candy,...

Okay, let’s talk about my little adventure with flour sifters. You know, those things you use in the kitchen to make your flour all nice and fluffy? Well, I’ve been baking a lot lately, and I realized I needed a good sifter, especially if I wanted to up my baking game. So, I decided to get myself one. Not just any sifter, mind you, a...

So, the other day I decided to give baking a go. I’ve always wanted to try my hand at it, you know? First off, I hit up a few stores to check out what baking tools they had. I was kinda overwhelmed by all the choices, honestly. There are so many different brands and types of equipment. I started with the basics – mixing bowls....

Okay, so, a while back I got this wild hair to try baking with different kinds of flour. I’ve always been a regular all-purpose flour kind of guy, but lately I’ve been seeing all this stuff about “low gluten” and “high gluten” flours. Naturally, I got curious. I ended up grabbing a big 50-pound bag of Shepherd’s Grain low gluten flour. Now, Shepherd’s Grain, as...

Okay, so I’ve been wanting to get into baking for a while now. I finally decided to take the plunge and buy a baking tools set. I’m not exactly sure where to start, but I figured having the right tools is step one, right? First, I went online and did some browsing. There are so many different sets out there, it’s kinda overwhelming! But I...

Okay, so today I really wanted to mess around with some flour, specifically the low-gluten kind. I’ve been seeing all these “gluten-free” labels everywhere, and I got curious. What’s the deal with gluten anyway? Is it the enemy or what? So, I decided to roll up my sleeves and figure it out myself. First thing, I grabbed a bag of regular all-purpose flour and a...
