As a new baker, I am have been pouring over books and online recipes.  Given my personality, I want to always try different recipes and tinker with things.  On the other hand, my mother-in-law has baked the same 3-4 recipes for 50 years.  Her wheat bread is always the same, her rye bread is always the same, etc.  I know this says something about our personalities and also our level of baking experience.  I would be interested to hear if you settle into a few recipes that you love or if you like to experiment with lots of different recipes.

After trying a few wheat recipes, I found one that I really like.  With my "what's around the bend" personality, I am tempted to keep switching the recipe.

What advice would you have for a new baker?  Just stick to a few recipes?  Keep experimenting?  

If you are like my mother-in-law and stick to a few recipes, how did you settle into a recipe.  

I know that there is no wrong or right answer hear, but I would be curious about your thoughts.

Thank you,

Ronan
