Restarting to blog

For the past 2 months I've felt so bored with my life that i kept on thinking of what to do so i can get myself out of that boredom period. i would work on weekdays and sometimes on weekend and come my rest day i wont remember doing something worthy. all i know is that i would wake up late, go to church on Sunday, eat and cook. oh yeah  i do cook and do lots of baking! and that's when i realize that cooking is my only getaway from all the miseries of my not-so interesting life. its my stress reliever, my tranquilizer and my source of inner happiness.


So two weeks later, i decided to get a new cookbook and decided that from then on i will try each and every single recipe come rest day  ere's my new book called Mastering the Art of Baking by Anneka Manning.





As excited as I am i tried one of the recipe right away. so here's what i did, the basic white bread;

Preparing the ingredients..(forgive me for the messy table, im just so excited to try this recipe);-)


as the recipe says the ingredients were just the basic ones, flour, yeast, sugar and salt, butter, milk and water

 ingredients all mixed up, let it stand for an hour until it doubled its size, bake if for 40mins at 350-400degress

and here's the finished product!..:D



The verdict: texture is fine, you can sort of smell the yeast on the bread and it's a little bit bland. i dont know if there's something wrong with my ingredients or if i measured it correctly because i have to admit sometimes i dont follow the recipe religiously;). maybe i'll try to redo it next time and compare the results.:)  

P.S. 
Please forgive my poor choices of words for I am not that good in writing, i just write whatever random stuff comes across my mind. But i'll try to read some articles on how to be a good writer so as my next blog would be interesting enough to read.:)
