I'm learning a lot (and baking a LOT of bread). Thank you for the suggestion, it's been really helpful! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-to-bake-2/page/2#post-2441139 Thu, 28 Jan 2016 21:14:22 +0000 chopsuey 2441139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like baking cookies, but I've cut carbs and sugar from my diet, so I haven't baked in a while.<br /> It's easier to buy made from scratch desserts :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-to-bake-2#post-2441137 Thu, 28 Jan 2016 21:12:50 +0000 PrincessBaby 2441137@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like baking bc my oldest DD loves to make cupcakes and cookies. I don' t do anything from scratch, so I don't know if that counts, we we bake them together and then I put icing on them, and each time she eats one, she decorates them. We have about a million different colors and types of sprinkles:) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-to-bake-2#post-2441111 Thu, 28 Jan 2016 21:05:04 +0000 LCTBQE 2441111@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>love it--my satisfaction is in exhaustively trying variations and finding my perfect recipe for things. the best birthday cake on earth, the best peanut butter cookie, brownie, etc. it's like America's Best Recipe, but personal :)<br /> @mediagirl: I am really not impressed with Mark Bitman recipes! maybe just too basic? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-to-bake-2#post-2441104 Thu, 28 Jan 2016 21:03:22 +0000 honeybear 2441104@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Forget Bittman. I know he means well, and I like his recent turn towards more veggie-centric fare, but he turns out a lot of duds. </p> <p>If you want excellent bread, get a copy of Flour Water Salt Yeast by Ken Forkish. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-to-bake-2#post-2441090 Thu, 28 Jan 2016 20:56:31 +0000 hocuspocus 2441090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love baking! especially when it's cold and rainy out. I'm not very good at it though, I tend to burn things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-to-bake-2#post-2441048 Thu, 28 Jan 2016 20:32:33 +0000 Keybee 2441048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, but I love to eat baked goods and sometimes I just have to make things myself </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-to-bake-2#post-2441045 Thu, 28 Jan 2016 20:30:53 +0000 CakeLady 2441045@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: it is from the cookbook Bake! By Nick Malgieri and it is actually a really badly written and confusing recipe. I had to add a lot of extra flour and knead it more than the recipe said to. But the bread was delicious so not sure whether I'd recommend the recipe or not. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-to-bake-2#post-2440998 Thu, 28 Jan 2016 19:59:51 +0000 jhd 2440998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love to bake! I'm planning to make a piñata cake for LO's birthday and fill it with mini m&amp;ms (his favorite!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-to-bake-2#post-2440919 Thu, 28 Jan 2016 19:01:50 +0000 regberadaisy 2440919@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CakeLady: would love the honey oatmeal bread recipe! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-to-bake-2#post-2440821 Thu, 28 Jan 2016 17:34:34 +0000 CakeLady 2440821@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love baking, obviously. One of my best baking buddies and I are doing to do choux pastry to make eclairs at our next get together. I also made a honey oatmeal bread recently and it turned out really well, so I am excited to try again. The last thing I made were chocolate chip cookies from Thomas Keller's Ad Hoc at Home cookbook and they were AHmazing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-to-bake-2#post-2440802 Thu, 28 Jan 2016 17:19:40 +0000 HLK208 2440802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I loooove baking! I saw a red wine chocolate cake on Tasty last night and I've been thinking about it since, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-to-bake-2#post-2440794 Thu, 28 Jan 2016 17:16:14 +0000 petunia354 2440794@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love to bake!

Not sure if I just bake cookie and brownie at same time, do they cook at same rate? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-to-bake-2#post-2440747 Thu, 28 Jan 2016 16:46:51 +0000 mediagirl 2440747@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBoecksMom: ha! I hear that. So many messes.

I'm trying artisan bread right now.

I received a kitchen aid mixer a couple years ago for Christmas and it's been the best / worst thing to happen to our waistlines ;)</p> <p>@mediagirl: do you have a good, relatively simple bread recipe to share? Im good with cookies and cakes but bread is a totally new thing to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-to-bake-2#post-2440347 Thu, 28 Jan 2016 13:39:55 +0000 T-Mom 2440347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love to bake treats, like cookies and cakes.

My favorite is the old fashioned Tassajara Bread Book for many recipes. </p>
