Unpopular Baking Opinions

-"You have to be careful, baking is an exact science" I get that baking is literally chemical reactions, but unless you're a professional who's trying to get the exact same result every time it's not that big a deal. The current conditions in your house will influence your results, so you could do everything the exact same way every single time and get a slightly different result. Your house is not a laboratory (unless it is lol). *I do spoon my flour into my measuring cup and definitely believe this is crucial. Some technique is still required with baking, and there are still wrong ways to do things.

-"You have to weight everything with sourdough so you have the right ratios" This kinda goes with the last. Baking is older than modern science. The first people making sourdough didn't have kitchen scales, it's not that serious. Actually when I tried to switch to weighing with my established starter to make sure I had the right ratios, it killed my starter because there wasn't enough flour to feed the yeast 😅 I went back to just making sure the texture is right.

-"You can never have too many chocolate chips" I often add less chocolate chips than recipes ask for 😅 if it's only asking for a half cup or less I might follow it, but even though I love chocolate I don't love a ton of chocolate chips in things.

This is just what I thought of off the top of my head. Baking is a fun hobby! Everyone has their own opinions on things and will do things a little differently. If what you're doing is working for you then keep doing it! I'm not saying my way is the right way, these are just personal opinions. 🥰🩷

My home isn't perfect. It's cosy. It's clean but I don't use tons of chemical products and don't spend my time scrubbing. Thus, it does show some wear and tear.

Most of my energy is poured in being present, nurturing my family and taking care of them.

I'm not aiming to make my home picture perfect. Clean but living and functionable.

You can linger here. You can grow here.

We're not posing as a perfect family in a perfect home.

We are living, breathing and laughing together.
