I tell Ms. bunnys that the reason I can’t bake is because I’m such a good cook and the reason she can’t cook is because she’s such a good baker.

Did you forget about baked beans? They don’t smell your fear, but others may fear your smell. Checkmate beanthesists.
Uh, people?
Have you ever met a baker that was angry?
That’s why.
Yes, I once met one. But maybe he was angry because I was drunk and woke him up in the middle of the night (for me it was middle of the night, for him it was two hours before he had to get up) and asked for breadrolls.
Testing your fate, there.
I’ve never understood this. It’s pretty easy to make some decent bread just by feel. I never measure, all you need is the right moisture to flour content.
But now after writing this maybe I just don’t have fear…
Every time I have to get a homemade pizza off of the peel and onto my baking steel i repeat the phrase “dough can sense fear” to myself. Cuz if you’re not confident, that thing is gonna stick to your peel or end up lopsided
Put corn meal under the dough while adding toppings.
“fear is the pie killer”
“Fear is the dough killer. Fear crumbles the crust, withers the rise, and spoils the yeast. I will let the fear knead through me. And when it has passed, I will turn the loaf to see its path. Where the fear has gone, the bread will grow. Only the loaf will remain.”
Knead it longer, it shows who’s the boss. And use more flour so it has less surface to hold on to.
Try parchment paper.
that thing is gonna stick to your peel
Use butter?
Butter in pizza dough? You want to see the world burn?
Not in the dough. Just a spread some butter or oil on the peel? 🤔
Ah mine is wooden, wouldn’t work with oil or butter.
Flour?
If anyone wants to get into it overnight proof recipe is a great gateway
Baking is just chemistry. The recipes are formulas. If you measure by weight and can follow simple instructions, you can bake.
It gets more complex than that with yeast but yeah
And the yeast can sense fear.
Luckily, it can also sense anger which is why I remember every failure before I approach the dough.
I’ve been cooking for myself for a very long time and I can tell you that dough doesn’t care. It’s just about 3 things mood, moisture and temperature.

Nothing spoils a mood like fear!
Fear… and surprise!
Fear, surprise and ruthlessness.
A fearection is real and is…confusing.
You don’t make dough do you… :-)
