    Baking bread. At first, your results will be uneven. (brick like, over baked, underbaked, too much yeast, not enough kneading, etc.) Just don’t give up, the first time you get it close to “right”, you’ll be addicted to home made bread. It’s about training your hands and other senses until you don’t need a recipe any more.

      Literally eating a homemade bun right now.

      Can confirm, it’s addictive and my stomach is having a very conflicting love/hate relationship with me for it lol

      The one thing that got me into home made bread was getting a bread machine and using it exclusively for kneading. Machine made bread is weird and uneven to me, but taking the dough and baking it the traditional way makes brilliant bread and saves a lot of time.

        I completely agree. Plus I like the shape from a tradional loaf pan vs the odd cube from the bread maker.
