Well, this might seem like a weird question, but I personally, love cooking..i am pretty good at it too (conceded and stuffs too you know ;p)
Anyways, lately I have been baking..I started baking bannock bread (as I grew up on it being native american) ...Got my bannock down pat...but it wasn't really that great unless I was making tacos or something (indian tacos) because it is a very heavy, sweet bread with a slow cooking process...
So I started reading up on white bread recipes...most of them didn't turn out too well (added the salt too early in most cases and destroyed the yeast =/ )
but recently I started making this Tuscan style white bread (no salt)..it's really fluffy and delicate, plus it tastes great if you eat it with something salty or maybe some salted butter, also it's great for soups and such..basically goes well with anything and doesn't compete with the flavours...
i plan on trying ciabatta bread because it looks awesome...But it is complicated as fuck and i am just getting used to basic bread recipes..
Here is the recipe for my current favourite bread (pieced together from various recipes...basically did my own thing until it tasted good, don't plan on anyone actually being interested in it, but w/e)
2 1/2 Cups Warm Water
2 Tablespoons of dry active yeast
1 tablespoon of sugar
1/4 cup of shortening
6 1/2 cups of flour
So, my question to you is...What is your favourite type of bread?
If you say something like wonderbread I'ma smack you =P
