I've been baking bread and it has mostly been pretty tastey but it is taking soooo long to rise. Especially that last proof in the pan. Two rises and then proofing. Hubby says the recipe from Betty Crocker has too much salt. It has 1 Tablespoon in 7 cups of flour. Guess I'll just keep working at it.
6 degrees last night and it made 46 degrees for our high today. It certainly didn't seem that warm out.

Baking Bread and Chocolate Chip Cookies
I'm baking bread today. I like the classic Betty Crocker White Bread. I have two loaves in the loaf pans and they are making their final rise.
I have the house at 80 degrees. That is a little too hot for my taste but the bread is loving it.
We have a wood stove so I'm not wasting a bunch of money heating the house:)
I decided to bake chocolate chip cookies. The batter didn't seem quite "thick enough". I decided I must have forgotten the last 1/2 cup of flour in the recipe when I measured so I added the 1/2 C. flour and forged ahead.
They turned out really flat and greasy. I must have really screwed up on my flour measurements somehow. Oh well, you win some, you lose some.
