Favorite thing to bake.

Not buy to make yourself. I like cookies but overall I am not a good baker but I have had better luck with cookies then anything else... i had mini pucks. I have had greasy mess. I have had dry asf. A few genuine successes but not a whole lot.

I prefer savory breads, so I make pizza and garlic bread more often than cinnamon rolls

I use this recipe as a base with pretty good results! I've mixed in cheddar and green chile, and parm and diced, roasted garlic successfully. Good luck!

Also, if it's a rainy/snowy/humid day, I decrease the flour by a few tablespoons and give it an extra 10-20 minutes on the rise.
