2019 Bread Maker’s Gift Guide
If there’s one category of baking I’ve set out to master, it’s baking bread. While bread might seem easy due to quantity and simplicity of ingredients, there are so many techniques to master to create the perfect loaf – kneading, rising, scoring, etc… Trust me. The challah loaf you see in the photo above was a welcome victory after two miserable bread fails (hence why I’m holding it like a baby!).
Needless to say, I still have a lot to learn, and there’s a few tools I’ve come to lean on as a newbie bread baker. I also have a few items on my wish list, and I’ve compiled them together into a Bread Maker’s Gift Guide for you! The items I’ve selected are tailored towards beginner bread bakers, and best yet is that the majority of these are $20 or under.
