Nobody warned me and I didn't see any labels regarding this when I bought flour and basic baking equipment. They really should have......
Last night I told my housemate that I had been feeling really strange all day. I have various medical conditions relating to childhood cancer, so straight away he offered to take me to hospital. My reply was and what exactly do I tell them ? I'm an addict with withdrawal symptoms.....
The weird look on his face was quickly replaced, and accompanied by loud laughter as I explained I hadn't baked any bread that day and really missed kneading.
I AM AN ADDICT , and it has only been 3 months.
I am mostly housebound, a wheelchair user and I love crafting. I have discovered baking bread is just another craft and gathering supplies, books, watching videos and reading forum and FB group posts is just as addictive.
I home educate my youngest , soon to be 12 year old daughter, and she is so chuffed to be able to make a loaf from start to finish by herself. We normally bake side by side and have found baking to be filling all sorts of curriculum requirements both on food education and science . We have even found ourselves repeating the mantra, " Glutenin and Gliadin " as we knead, lol.

This makes me so happy. I just started baking bread and I'm also addicted. I loooove touching dough. May your loaves be always blessed with good oven spring and a golden crust!
Ejay! what an amazing memory to share with your daughter! So great! My daughter isn't that ambitious lol she just says "Did you bake today Mom?" kids, got to love them!
Bread making is rewarding and healthy with so many additives in commercial flours it really makes sense to go back to the basics and know what's in our daily staple! I too am an addict! I love the feel of a soft pillow of dough that starts of a shaggy, sticky lump! It's like when I was a kid and had a new container of play dough! I loved the feel of it! All Artisans are addicted to their hobbies and crafts!
Enjoy bread-making! keep making precious memories ! One loaf at a time!
Cheers!
