All...
I'm a pretty good cook. Mostly meats, casseroles, etc.
My dad used to bake: Pies, breads, cakes, etc. on his own. I've never been a baker, much. I've just now started to bake some bread. And I'm having a ball with it! Of course, I've screwed some of them up, but I've got my white/sandwich bread pretty well dialed in.
I like to do all of it by hand; no mixers. So my kneading, etc. is all by hand.
I'm wondering if this site has a baking/cooking thread/section. If not, I'd imagine there are some baking ninjas on here that could guide me. I've got a pretty good bread recipe, but I'm always looking to get better!
I'm really looking for pros that have done this for years and can guide me as I get more adventurous!
I want to move into flavored (jalapeno/cheese, rye, etc.) and would love to find some guidance here.
If there's already a thread for this, please point me to it. If not, can we start one?
