Baking requires total fearlessness

[bdonvr@thelemmy.club]

It gets more complex than that with yeast but yeah

[flicker@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

And the yeast can sense fear.

Luckily, it can also sense anger which is why I remember every failure before I approach the dough.

"fear is the pie killer"

[gbu_28@lemm.ee]

A fearection is real and is...confusing.

[yondoza@sh.itjust.works]

I've never understood this. It's pretty easy to make some decent bread just by feel. I never measure, all you need is the right moisture to flour content.

But now after writing this maybe I just don't have fear...

Fear… and surprise!

If anyone wants to get into it overnight proof recipe is a great gateway

[thebat@lemmy.world]

that thing is gonna stick to your peel

Use butter?

[nerv@lemmynsfw.com]

Uh, people?

Have you ever met a baker that was angry?

That's why.

[atherel@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

Knead it longer, it shows who's the boss. And use more flour so it has less surface to hold on to.

[atherel@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

Butter in pizza dough? You want to see the world burn?

[witten@lemmy.world]

Try parchment paper.

[dmmacniel@feddit.org]

Fear, surprise and ruthlessness.

[thebat@lemmy.world]

Not in the dough. Just a spread some butter or oil on the peel?

[cyberegg@discuss.tchncs.de]

Yes, I once met one. But maybe he was angry because I was drunk and woke him up in the middle of the night (for me it was middle of the night, for him it was two hours before he had to get up) and asked for breadrolls.

[nerv@lemmynsfw.com]

You testing your fate, there.

[atherel@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

Ah mine is wooden, wouldn't work with oil or butter.

I tell Ms. bunnys that the reason I can’t bake is because I’m such a good cook and the reason she can’t cook is because she’s such a good baker.

“Fear is the dough killer. Fear crumbles the crust, withers the rise, and spoils the yeast. I will let the fear knead through me. And when it has passed, I will turn the loaf to see its path. Where the fear has gone, the bread will grow. Only the loaf will remain.”

Put corn meal under the dough while adding toppings.
