I Baked Bread For A Week And You Should Too
Alex Aarant

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!

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
