Let them eat bread!

I had a dream that I was a baker. So the next day I baked lots of bread! I love foodwishes from hungrynation on youtube, so I used his recipe for ciabatta bread. It took 18 hours to ferment or err whatever it's called. I also tried to do his pizza dough recipe (also 18hrs), but my mom was stupid and turned on the oven to warm up the house while my dough was rising, killing the yeast. So that project failed. Then I got impatient yesterday so I made some faster rising bread. I made these french rolls (seen below). The dough was quite nice, and it was pretty easy to work with. Today I excitedly prepped my ciabatta dough for baking. The dough looked just like in the video, and that was exciting. Unfortunately the product wasn't exactly the same, but still quite good! So last night, frustrated after my pizza catastrophe, I made a quick pizza dough and left it in the fridge over night. That dough had hundreds of good ratings, but for some reason didn't work very well for me. I had to add a bunch of extra flour, and the gluten strands were really weak feeling. Anyway, in the morning it was quite elastic and cool, so that made me happy. I made the pizza and it was quite good. The bread just finished a couple of hours ago. Pictures below! Also, I added some random food pics from the past two weeks. Just Japanese new years food.

I really want to try dutch crunch and baguettes soon! Shit I have so much homework to do. Adios Amig(a/o)s

WINTER BREAK PROJECT #1

I am off for winter break! How exciting. I finished this semester the strongest I ever have.I'm super happy about that. I really want to cook more and sew more this break, but I dunno how possible that is. This project could be my first and last, I dunno! But I spent a couple of hours trying to make a bomber hat from a threadbanger tutorial. I tried it before and it was ugly as fuck, but I KINDA learned from my mistakes. I mean, I fucked up pretty bad in some places but. haha. Anyway here it is my buddies.

Mash-ed Pote-to

I feel like whenever there is a shitload of shit to do, I cook something. Bad habit I suppose, but cooking is so fun and the product is tasty. Today I made some garlic mashed potatoes. Practicing for Thxgiving :P
Also, this is soup my mom made the other day. It was a chicken, spinach and something soup. So delicious.

Butterscotch

So I thought that it would be cool to make butterscotch. I browsed a recipe that required a bunch of stuff that I didn't have so i pretty much made up my own variation (without measurements...). So I put in milk, sugar, vanilla, butter and honey cream stuff. Simmered it while constantly mixing it so it wouldn't burn. Turned out chewy and delicious. It's very sweet though, so next time I'll lay off the sugar (and the butter). It's so buttery, but would taste delicious with coffee or something.First is a picture of the hardening sugar stuff I updated last post.

More Caramel!

I was bored so I simmered some sugar and water for a while....and made candy! it tastes pretty good but i think would tastes delicious with some sort of flavoring. Umm yeah I put it on parchment paper to cool and it hardened almost instantly. peeled off easily too. Shatters like glass though :p
