Hi,

First of all let me tell you all that my username is supposed to be ironic :)

I have joined the forum because I can't bake.

I am a fairly decent cook and I continously change and adapt recipes.

I tried the same thing baking... Big Mistake...Huge!  But I guess you all already know that.

The first thing I learned this week is that Baking Powder and Yeast are NOT the same thing.  So for my first loaf of bread I got a raw piece of dough.  I went to bed a little frustrated with the effort but refused to throw away the dough.  Next morning i put said dough in the oven to finish baking.  Now as you may have guessed it was dry by then so I sprayed with water then threw it in the oven at 325 ( I figured low heat will thoroughly bake it right?)  Ok so to end my story I ended up with a loaf good enough to brake a window with.

Now I am sure that I'll be back here asking lots of questions and most will not be smart so Please have some patience.

Joe.
