I cannot describe how excited I was to make my first loaf of bread. I remember it being 11:30 at night when this sucker came out of the oven and I happily told myself that I WAS Peeta Mellark. Obviously I was exaggerating quite a bit but that didn't matter. By the glow of the stove light I happily cut into my bread. Now this was a pretty awesome loaf of bread. It tasted great, had an awesome hard crust, and was only a little bit dense.. okay maybe a lot a bit... Totally edible though!! To this day I have a hard time with the density of bread and cakes. I've been told that It's likely that I'm over mixing the dough. I need more practice. Keep adding these things to the to-do list. Practice Practice Practice.
