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

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!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
