Bread

 Bread

My baked item of the week is bread. This is the first time I have ever baked a loaf of bread. It turned out quite well for the first time. There were some issues during the process though.  I did not realize how long it takes to make bread so I stayed up until after 1am baking last night.

I put the bread in the oven to rise for an hour; while it was rising, I decided to take a shower. Well I set the timer on the microwave; I was scared to set the one on the oven because I was worried about the oven turning on. I had just gotten out of the shower and I heard popcorn popping in the microwave and I asked my mom if she had set the timer on the stove, she replied "yes, but for some reason there are two red lights on". I opened the oven and smoke came out. The oven had turned on like I had feared and the bread had risen so much it was touching the top of the oven and the towel was starting to catch on fire. I ended up cutting the top of the dough off but I still had enough to make two loaves.

 

I now know how to bake bread. . . I also know better than to put it in the oven with my family around.
