Almost useless information
I made some bread today, and for those of you who have ever attempted this, I have a bit of advice. This twist is a NOLS backpacking technique. While in the wilderness I have baked bread believe it or not. Come to think of it, I have baked bread in the wilderness more often that I have in a real kitchen. Ok, heres how it works:
1) Using a pre-set recipe, mix the water, sugar and yeast in a container and let sit for 5min.
2)Then take a larg ziploc bag- the more durable the better- and mix everything in it. yeasty water and all.
3) Zip it up and squish it all around. This is quite a bit of fun, it's like a edible playdough... well, I ate playdough anyway.
4) Find a good book and stuff that bag of rising yeasty muck under your shirt. Sit around for an hour while it rises. Your body heat is just warm enough for the yeast to grow.
5) After an hour, or when you are driven mad by the 5 extra mushy pounds you put on, put it in the oven(in bread pans you dummy).
Voala! Perfect bread.
