I Baked Bread For A Week And You Should Too

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

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!

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
