Epic Failure: Potato Rolls

Posted by jenny on 12/23/2009

Who screws up potato bread? I mean, the whole idea behind adding potato (baked, mashed, boiled, flakes, flour) is to make bread basically fool-proof. It tenderizes the dough so that nearly anything you throw at it doesn't really matter. Potato bread is easy.

People tell me all the time about how intimidated they are to bake or cook for me because everything on my blog looks so good (said with emphasis). I always have to explain that I have my handy digital camera, and even though I'm not a very good photographer, I can take 20 pictures of something and I'm likely to come out with at least one pretty nice picture. That doesn't mean that I don't make a mess, and certainly I have my fair share of failures in the kitchen.
