Bread Baking Mastery for Beginners
Perfect Dough Alchemy
Honestly, there is no better aroma than the smell of freshly baked bread coming out of the oven. Growing up I still remember every time we visited my grandma's house; I would wake up with this aroma every morning. I still remember I woke up hungry, wanted to try a slice with homemade butter and strawberry jam on top (yes! She made homemade butter and all kinds of jams too).
As a grown up I never tried making bread, because every time I tried, they ended in disasters. Now as a mother of four, I found myself buying three different bread, low carb for my youngest son due to his weight issue, gluten-free for my daughter and white bread for my other two sons and husband.
Five years ago my husband got laid off from his utility company job and to make ends meet; I had no other choice but to start making bread, jams, and canning various food to save money. No to mention the growing concern over gluten found in almost all grains and the "genetically modified" crops, as well the additives and some ingredients that are not only impossible to pronounce but suspect to doing your body more harm than good.
This was when I started remembering my grandma's teachings. I started to try them out slowly, and sure enough in a short period of time, I almost became a master baker.
My husband got his job back after 18 months, everything is back to normal again, but I never stopped baking! It became a passion for me. I now teach people how to make fresh homemade bread. One secret I think that made me successful was some of the tips I learned from my grandmother. I will be starting a YouTube channel soon where I will share what I shared in this book. So, look out for that.
