I Made Bread!
Today, I made bread, from scratch. I was scheduled to work at the camp today and not the swamp so I took part in all of the cleaning and cooking while everyone else was supposed to be at the swamp. But due to the rain and snow coming down all night most of the day, work was cancelled.
Alore, back to the bread. With the help of Martial, we took half a bag of floor, a pack of yeast, some salt, sugar and almonds. I mixed that all together with some water, kneaded the dough and the we left it sit, covered on the radiator(a low heat source is needed) for several ours so the dough could rise. Then we worked the dough again and threw it in the oven on low (approximately 170C) for about 45 min. I’m quite proud of my bread and I plan on making it again when I get back home.
Tomorrow we may or may not be heading back to the swamp as it’s still raining on and off so there’s no telling what conditions may be like down there.
