Baking Bread Quotes

“There comes a point in your life when you need to stop eating other people's bread and make your own! - Chris Geiger”
― Chris Geiger

“Some folks might call it giving up, but that never felt quite right. It was more like knowing when to stop kneading and wait for the dough to rise. Maybe later I'd be able to choose a direction. I might make rolls, or loaves, or spread the dough with cinnamon and sugar, or dried fruits or herbs or a dozen other things. Maybe I made a mistake somewhere earlier and the dough wouldn't rise at all. No way to know, nothing to do but wait. It might even look like being brave.”
― Reena McCarty, The Tricky Business of Faerie Bargains

“I pour buttermilk into the crater and work the mixture until it is pasty. Using my fingers, I pull dry flour into the wet ingredients, building on the dough, kneading it, drawing meal from the sides. My fingers make small circles while my hand makes a larger circular motion, working around the bowl.”
