Yesterday was my first time baking bread. Or much else for that matter. I didn’t really start baking until Jess told me to bake with her starting a couple weeks ago. I’m pretty good at the instant stuff though. And the pre-made cookie dough. And the cake and brownie mixes.
So the first thing we made were snickerdoodles! And chocolate chip cookies! Then our next adventure was red velvet cupcakes and chocolate cupcakes! And finally our most recent challenges: bread, scones, and checkered cookies.
The checkered cookies were kinda fail. Maybe Jess will post pics later. The chocolate dough was fun to play with. It also looked like poo. But that’s not the reason it was fun to play with. But then we had to make white dough to make the checkerboard colors. The white dough was this ultra-super-buttery pastry dough recipe. The butter kept MELTING!!! It was so so sad. In the end, the cookies looked like strange blobs, not checkerboard at all. But they still tasted good so I guess it’s okay.
More baking next week! YAY!
Oh yeah, forgot to mention the title…dough-kneading hurts my arms and shoulders. So so tired.
