Piggy-in-a-Blanket

Okay, if you know me well, you should know that I am a bread lover. So of course, it's only natural that I would come to bake some bread someday. Therefore, I accidentally came across a blog with these heavenly-made bread recipes that I thought maybe they aren't that hard to make. But as my first time in making bread, I had quite a few problems. xD

I honestly didn't know that there were so many different types of yeast to make bread! (Gosh, I'm such an idiot.) Without noticing that the recipe calls for INSTANT yeast, I went ahead and bought RAPIDRISE yeast. Due to the different names for the yeast, I went online to search if Rapidrise yeast was any different from instant yeast. Some sites told me there's no difference, and some sites said there's a little bit of difference. -_- It was hectic trying to know these things. So considering the type of impatient person I am, I just went with the no difference decision. LOL.

One other problem was the bread dough. I barely came to realize this problem when I was kneading the dough. I had no clue when was the kneading finished, and because I hate how the dough keeps sticking to my hand, I constantly added more flour to my hand. It made the dough too dry and I'm not even sure if I kneaded the bread enough. So the end result was that the bread crust was freakin' hard as stone and it tasted good only when it was right out from the oven.

But because of this experience, I'm even more determined to bake more breads to improve its taste! :)
