... are deceptive little bastards! The King Arthur book explains the chemistry very well and is easily understood, even by a dyslexic like me. The art comes from doing it the same way each time and then tweeking to make a recipe yours as needed. Like adjusting a recipe to fit the size of your bread pans or the quirkiness of your oven or using a baking stone in your oven. The pandemic got me baking and I bake bread weekly ever since. I've been able to do some fancy things I could never have done before. My pies are still a little ugly, but I make the fillings scratch (so much simpler than it seems and cheaper and more tasty than canned) and I do a very good crust.
