It also helps if you can find someone who'll eat all your mistakes without complaining.<BR/><BR/>Melinda - Agreed.<BR/><BR/>My Kitchen In Half Cups - Heady praise from the bread master!<BR/><BR/>Peabody - I smile thinking of you having a tete a tete with the yeast.<BR/><BR/>Anh - You're such a sweetie. I'd share my bread with you anytime.<BR/><BR/>Aimee- I'll let you know if / when I ever find the perfect recipe.<BR/><BR/>Gigi- Thanks, hon.<BR/><BR/>Patricia - Well, it did put me off for quite a while. <BR/><BR/>Amy - Go for it! The worst that could happen is you end up with blackened bricks. Then you have something to prop the door open with or throw at muggers. It's all good.<BR/><BR/>Happy Homebaker - It's nice that my little ramblings are appreciated.<BR/><BR/>Ellie - Thanks for the bread questions. Yes, the 110 degrees is F (wouldn't that be like "incinerate" in C?)<BR/><BR/>I did an online conversion and came up with 21.43 grams in 2 packets of yeast. Does that sound right?<BR/><BR/>The egg wash makes the loaf all shiny and sassy.<BR/><BR/>Have some fun baking!Cookie baker Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11069661176518230573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1151230224028574772.post-10431536255116800822007-11-15T04:21:00.000-08:002007-11-15T04:21:00.000-08:00Tomorrow is gonna be one of those stinking hot day...Tomorrow is gonna be one of those stinking hot days, perfect for proofinf dough, so I've decided that I'll be making this! Just a couple of questions - <BR/><BR/>1. 110 degrees - I assume this is F and not C?<BR/><BR/>2. How many grams/ounces is in 2 packets of yeast? My yeast comes out of a tub so I've got to measure the stuff out<BR/><BR/>3. How on earth did you get such a shiny, sexy lookin' loaf???Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1151230224028574772.post-42184529135110956292007-11-13T22:47:00.000-08:002007-11-13T22:47:00.000-08:00What a lovely story!
