People overcomplicate things to ridiculous levels sometimes.

This is a little freaky.

I have had a set of Duralex nesting bowls for like 15 years that I love and use every day.

are you doing the yeast for bread or beer?

11/27/2012 3:20:59 PM

yes, its ok for you to post date your check for 2 weeks. not like I have bills to pay either, including your half of the cell phone bill

11/27/2012 3:21:01 PM

bread

11/27/2012 4:06:04 PM

^ ha! I usually just run warm water from the sink for bread. That recipe was pretty specific on temperature.

What kind of bread are you making? I've been wanting to branch out from my typical white bread recipe. I was going to try making this around the holidays this year:

She is frustratingly wordy. Example:

Quote :

"Grease two oven-safe bowls (such as the pyrex bowls I mentioned above) with about a tablespoon of butter each. (My mother might use even more — more butter not only adds flavor but also prevents sticking). Using two forks, punch down your dough, scraping it from the sides of the bowl, which it will be clinging to. As you scrape it down try to turn the dough up onto itself if that makes sense. You want to loosen the dough entirely from the sides of the bowl, and you want to make sure you’ve punched it down. Take your two forks and divide the dough into two equal portions — eye the center of the mass of dough, and starting from the center and working out, pull the dough apart with the two forks. Then scoop up each half and place into your prepared bowls. This part can be a little messy — the dough is very wet and will slip all over the place. Using small forks or forks with short tines makes this easier — my small salad forks work best; my dinner forks make it harder. It’s best to scoop it up fast and plop it in the bowl in one fell swoop. Let the dough rise for about 30 minutes or until it has risen to just below or above (depending on what size bowl you are using) the top of the bowls."
