best advice for the new baker?
Hi --
So, what do you tell those people who are so amazed that you bake bread, who say they could never do that, who claim to be terrified of yeast, petrified of kneading?
I want to tell everyone how easy and wonderful it is to make homemade bread but people are so freaked out about it!
So, I'm doing bread 101 on my blog today at Flour Girl. [1]
The best advice I've gotten so far? It's only flour, water and yeast. What's the big deal if you mess up? Toss it out -- or try to fix it -- and start again.
What's your favorite piece of new-baker advice? Or maybe you have a favorite first, confidence-boosting recipe ... I'd love to hear it ...
Happy baking!
