Though this is the second time I am participating in a marathon for baking, I enjoyed this a lot more and also learned from this marathon a lot more. Now I am confident of baking breads and buns. Next I should try cakes I guess.
This marathon the following were the specialities
This marathon the following were the specialities
- Did different varieties of breads, buns and cookies.
- Tried recipes from 20 different places.
- Tried shaping breads for the first time like snail, petals etc.
- Used a lot of new spices like the zaatar spice mix, oregano spice mix, till/sesame seeds in breads etc
- found many new varieties of stuffed bread which would be a good choice for picnics.
When this marathon started I was ready with only 3 posts. But somehow I had the courage and confidence to go ahead with the marathon since I had the list of recipes ready. I actually learned efficient time management and effective planning by doing this mega marathon. I planned my breakfast mostly around these recipes and the evening snacks also. For the last few recipes I missed buying few essential ingredients since they were not available near my place of stay. But that didn't affect the final product much. Overall I am very much satisfied with my performance in this mega marathon. The only flaw is I haven't commented on the posts of my fellow bloggers.
I should have suggested Valli to have some detox diet or something similar for the next month after devouring all these butter filled goodies..
