I Baked Bread For A Week And You Should Too
Alex Aarant

In This Article:

Despite the overwhelming amount of flour used and the worrisome amount of carbs consumed, I spent the week baking bread.

It started on Thursday with cinnamon rolls, as it was valentines and I was alone for it, I decided I might as well do something useful during it. So I went to HEB and collected the ingredients necessary to make them from scratch.

Here is the recipe I used


Binging with Babish: Cinnamon Rolls from Jim Gaffigan's Stand Up (sort of)www.youtube.com

Here is how they turned out

I was very nervous most of the time, as I had no experience with yeast before. They turned out so good and tasted incredible. It took roughly 6 hours to make but they were so worth the time.

Next, I tried my hand at Focaccia bread. Focaccia is Italian bread with a heavy influence of olive oil;, but it is by far the tastiest of all bread. I have made this twice, the first time I used normal bread flour, and the second I used Italian flour. The first came out very thick whilst the second was much thinner.



and the second batch



Everyone LOVED the focaccia and it was super fun and relatively easy to make as well. Here was the recipe I used

And the final bread I made was "No Knead Bread" which made very good sandwich bread but wasn't the knockout winner that Focaccia was.

Overall, it was a good, fun, and delicious experience to make these types of bread and I would highly recommend trying at least one of them!

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!
