Covered in flour and loving it

No, I have not found some kinky sex group in Victoria, but I'll now keep my eyes open for it. ;) I have started baking a lot these last few days. It has been so much fun and enjoyable. I have reached out to friends around me and asked for recipes and have founds some really great things. So far I have made, Chocolate Cranberry Oatmeal and Oatmeal Raisin Cookies, along with right at this moment two loafs worth of 100% Organic Whole Wheat Bread dough is rising in my kitchen. I'm going to punch it just before I sleep and then in the morning start baking, should be awesome to have really fresh bread with some veggies, fruit, and eggs in the morning. Yum. I have discovered that I like the taste of precooked dough, cookie of course and even bread. There is something about the soft texture that I like. I think the dough is similar to the centre of the loaf so soft that I can squish it into a ball and eat it. Eating it before cooking just saves that step of cooking it.

Does anyone else do this out there?

If you want some cookies just let me know what type you fancy and i'll try my best getting some to you. :)

once in a while, I make beer bread which is something we discovered with begum but she's way better at it than I am; but, her version cost about $20 to make lol (does she like cheese!)

I like it since it's simple, tasty and quickly ready. I hate spending/waiting hours just to eat some bread.

Do you mind sharing some of your favourite recipes?

hey, that's not true! I haven't used cheese since I'm back to Vic! that was the "holiday&pampering friends" version :D

currently, my favourite versions of beer bread are: 1- flax seed & rosemary & oregano, 2-flax seed & walnuts. both are yummmy AND economic :) try it with 2 cups of whole wheat and 1 cups of unbleached white flour. tastes much better :)

My baking of bread efforts so far without help have turned out disappointing. The beer balls in Whistler were dry and bland, the two loafs that I just made were overly fermented not sure what really happened to them, thought I did everything right. hmmm. Some say it was the yeast, I really don't know. Maybe a class in bread making would be useful. The cookies are a hit though!
