Baking Bread

A couple of days ago aboard Christa, I attempted to bake my own bread for the first time. It did not go swimmingly. In fact, we had no rise, yeast was not activated and it came out in the shape of and weight of an anvil. I needed an intervention and training.
Notice I how jazzed I am in the pic as my second loaf had risen twice and was ready for some BTU's. Thanks to Rebecca from Wandering Dolphin who makes bread weekly for cruisers, she took me under her wing and taught me the criticalities of bread making.
Getting bread can really be a problem for cruisers on the move all the time. So I hope to bake my own bread from here on out. This really begins a new push to improve my onboard cooking and eating habits. It can become so easy to just head out to a restaurant. After this bread success I really have a sense of accomplishment.
