Quest For Bread.

My parents bought a bread maker many years ago and I have been fascinated by them ever since. We were in the Hat some weeks ago visiting said parents and they must have made 10 loaves of bread during the weekend. All perfect. No problems.

They obviously did not pass their bread magic down to their son. I have been fighting for a few weeks troubleshooting my bread making. Lately, I have been getting these tiny, embarrassing loaves of bread. So frustrating! I bought the special bread flour, I replaced the yeast - still no luck.

Today I did a bunch a tweaking, more yeast, less salt, a little more flour and bam - I got the formula right - a non embarrassing loaf of french bread! Mom and Dad - you'd be proud!
