I’ve found a new thing to watch on YouTube. Bread making ASMR videos! I’ve been wanting to try to make my own bread for a while now and decided to watch some cozy baking videos for inspiration. I love bread. My favorite is sourdough and French bread, and any crusty bread I can dip in olive oil. Heavenly. 🤤

I found a channel called ‘Peaceful Baking’ and was watching his videos. Not just the bread ones, but also pastries like danishes and croissants. I really had no idea how much effort goes into making a loaf of bread or a croissant. I was amazed at the use of butter in croissants, there’s a whole sheet of it sandwiched between the dough layers. That’s why they’re so buttery and flaky. I learned a lot by watching. Now I’m really inspired to make my own.

I used to make pies and cakes but got out of the habit because I didn’t have the energy to do it anymore. I never made any (good lol) bread…I tried to make blueberry bread at 3am one morning because I was bored, but it was gross, to me at least. Not at all what I was expecting it to be. Maybe the next time will be different since it’s a completely different type of bread. That was supposed to be a sweeter bread, which I discovered isn’t my favorite.

So I just spent several paragraphs talking about bread. I’m a really exciting person 😆
