Despite the overwhelming amount of flour used and the worrisome amount of carbs consumed, I spent the week baking bread.

It started on Thursday with cinnamon rolls, as it was valentines and I was alone for it, I decided I might as well do something useful during it. So I went to HEB and collected the ingredients necessary to make them from scratch.

Here is the recipe I used

Here is how they turned out

I was very nervous most of the time, as I had no experience with yeast before. They turned out so good and tasted incredible. It took roughly 6 hours to make but they were so worth the time.

Next, I tried my hand at Focaccia bread. Focaccia is Italian bread with a heavy influence of olive oil;, but it is by far the tastiest of all bread. I have made this twice, the first time I used normal bread flour, and the second I used Italian flour. The first came out very thick whilst the second was much thinner.

and the second batch

Everyone LOVED the focaccia and it was super fun and relatively easy to make as well. Here was the recipe I used

And the final bread I made was "No Knead Bread" which made very good sandwich bread but wasn't the knockout winner that Focaccia was.

Overall, it was a good, fun, and delicious experience to make these types of bread and I would highly recommend trying at least one of them!
