There is a verse in the bible that says "man cannot live by bread alone...". All I can say about that is THANK THE GOOD LORD. Have any of you ever tried to make bread?! It sucks. I decided recently that as part of our "revolution" I was going to quit buying bread from the store and start making our own. For any of you that really know me you understand how seriously funny that is. Anyway, I have a neighbor/friend who's husband is a baker so he loaned me a few books about baking bread and showed some easy (at least he said they were) recipes to start with. Well, the first loaf I made could have broken our freakin' window if any of us had thrown it at one. Today I decided to try a different recipe. This is what I want to know... Has anyone ever successfully oiled plastic wrap?! These "chefs" are crazy! You should have seen me wrestling with the stupid plastic wrap in the kitchen trying to get it to submit to the dog-gone olive oil rub down. I can tell you this, this is the last recipe I try out of these retarded artisan bread cookbooks! From now on I am looking on the internet for a simple "bread for kitchen dummies" recipe. Who the heck has time work on one stupid loaf of bread ALL day long?! Stupid.
Hopefully my work will not have been in vain and the bread turns out great. If so, I will be posting pictures later tonight. :)
A quick tip... I haven't actually tried it, but I have heard that if you put your plastic wrap in the freezer for a few hours, it behaves much nicer coming off the roll. Somehow the cold subdues the cling factor. Might try it.

ReplyDeleteWow, seriously? I have never heard that before! I will have to try that b/c that would be tons easier than oiling in down lol.
