Hello again friends,

So, I have a bit of a predicament, I can’t decide what I want to do for my free inquiry for  my tech class.  I can literally choose anything I want, like anything! I feel like I am at the worlds best ice cream parlor that has so many yummy flavors and I am told I can only choose one. It’s heartbreaking really, but the idea I always keep coming back to is baking. I would love to learn how to bake using different ingredients and different methods. You see, I have been working at a bakery for 4 years now, which is crazy, and resulting from this I can’t even make a batch of cookies from scratch. I don’t know how I have lived this long and have so much trouble following basic baking instructions. I haven’t fully thought out how I might approach this inquiry but I would like to start with something simple such as cookies and then slowly work my way up to baking a loaf of bread!

It sounds very ambitious I know but I think it could be fun, and it is something that I have been wanted to do for a while now. One reason i would like to learn how to bake is because it would be nice to bring homemade baked goods to events rather than buying desserts from my bakery all the time, and I would love to incorporate baking in my own classroom one day. I think it is a fun activity to do with kids and can teach them a basic skill as well as simple measurements! As for how I might go about learning how to bake, I think I should start with doing some research by looking at different recipes on Pinterest, in cook books, and online cookbooks. After this I want to plan out the order that I should bake things in based on the difficulty level. Then I will focus on the ingredients being used and start to think about my plan of attack.

Wish me luck friends! I might need it
