i am always dead certain that i have killed the yeast or that i pulled it out too early or left it in too long or done *something* that's gonna ruin the effort. so far i have managed to ruin exactly one baking episode. that was my first try with a recipe that was all mine. i tried to include some almond butter and orange marmalade (to make an orange/almond bread...) and came up with a braided doorstop instead.
fwiw, since i started letting the kitchen-aide do most of the kneading my bread seems to come out better. i think i tend to add too much flour to keep my hands from sticking to the dough?
