Bread

[unixronin]

There's bread ... developing in the bread machine.  I'd say baking, except it isn't, yet.  I'm not sure quite what the bread machine is supposed to be doing at this stage.

cymrullewes had me measure and add several of the ingredients, and I touched the bread machine at least twice.

It's doomed, I tell you.  Dooooomed.

would you like a technical explanation of what is going on? it's rather interesting...

Not really, I'm afraid. I am far from a big consumer of baked goods (I virtually never buy any baked goods myself except for crackers and flatbread, and occasionally bread for toast) and I have to admit that as a result I really have no significant interest in baking.

Which is a crying shame really. It severely limits the amount of experimenting I do in the kitchen.

Luckily, I can pawn off stuff on the guys at work. (I'm a construction scheduler. Those guys will eat anything and thank me for it. :-)

But for home, I bake honey oatmeal bread, regular white bread, pineapple upside down cake, chocolate cherry cake, cinnamon rolls (with apples or raisins or some other fruit or nothing extra), cheese biscuits (I'm from North Carolina, I can make biscuits :-), oatmeal raisin or craisin or dried cherry cookies, C is for Cookie (cinnamon, chocolate chip, chocolate, candy or cashew, thinking about cherries, thinking about cardamon), brownies (with and without extras like chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruit, or frosting be it melted Andes mints or cake icing), and the occasional cheesecake, generally a chocolate orange one. But I've made these so very often that I'm bored and would like to experiment. But without the wasting of food and with genuine appreciation for my efforts.

I don't see why. The girls all love the things you bake.

In case you didn't notice, if you don't like something the girls don't like it either. Remember the baba ganoush?
