The house smells sooooooo good! I am waiting for my very first loaf of bread -- homemade from scratch, and whole wheat to boot -- to emerge from the oven. I can't believe how good the house smells!
This may not seem exciting to the rest of you, my Five Faithful Readers, but I had to teach myself how to boil water.
THIS IS A BIG DEAL.
Yeast is involved. And we know that yeast intimidates the hell out of me. Too much science in the kitchen when you involve yeast.

Ok I remember your boiling water experience from high school. I also remember the glass from the dishwasher and ice incident.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the bread baking. When you're feeling ready, check out Baking with Julia from your public library and try the white bread recipe in there. It's fabulous.
ReplyDeleteAnd remember, the key to not killing yeast is baby bottle warm water. Warmer than that and it'll kill your yeast.
