Bread
Easy Garlic, Onion & Rosemary Focaccia Bread
Before the KitchenAid, I’ve tried making bread from scratch once but failed miserably. The recipe seemed simple enough, but it was my amateur kneading “skills” (I have none) that destroyed the bread. I attempted sugar butter buns I think, but because I didn’t know how to knead the dough, the texture turned out heavy and dense and the “buns” were inedible. I’ve made pretzels a few times with success though, but they’re not as complicated as bread. After that first failure, I stuck to cakes and muffins and cookies– I could make those– and never ventured into bread again.
Homemade Soft Butter Pretzels (with oven and airfried options!)
I’ve never baked bread. No, really, not even in a breadmaker. I was also skeptical, or even fearful of yeast- yes I am strange like that. I kinda remember reading a children’s book about children baking, and the little girl added so much yeast that the dough kept rising, and rising, and rising, until eventually it exploded through the roof.
