cecil culinary advneutres

part 1 of idk

hi so im documenting my food experimentation. today i made

this! fried bread! it may not look like much but it actually turned out very good. first few tries were weird, but the later ones were much better.

i thought about documenting my adventure so i have something to look back on. read if you’d like :) let me tell you my tale of adventure in the kitchen

ok so i watched Brian David gillbert’s botw cooking video and saw him make bread in a pan. He said it was good so I was like hmmm fried bread. Then I remembered my bf loves frybread and i was lik hmmmmm i wanna make it

so i look up a paratha recipe and go on that. it did not turn out like paratha, which is a type of flatbread, that is much flatter than this bread, and is also cooked differently. i went off script entirely because I was like but hmmm I can add this and this and this (this is how I cook. without fail every time) but also I already know how to make challah so I know what Works in bread and what Doesn’t (however i am wading into uncharted territory by not going on a recipe. DO NOT DO THIS. unless you are ok with failure sometimes. not everything works and thats ok :)! ) but you think like ok yeah im confident this should be simple right

wrong I took 3 hours to get up hyping myself up for bread. I was like I’m gonna make bread and then for 3 hours I simply didn’t. didnt do anything in those 3 hours instead of think about making bread and not actually making bread. #procrastination

ok so I get up and make my dough and get lost in the whimsy of creation. put an egg in there, some honey, which the recipe did not call for (but it did work!) but btw do not ask for measurements I don’t remember (ill list ingredience though) but like. fuck it we ball i operate on vibes

here it is before and after flattened (which btw i FURTHER flattened by hand (because I don’t have a rolling pin) because it fried better)

so i made a son (name of greg)

^ the first brother. he was just born and so innocent but little did he know he was going in the oil.

here he is freshly cooked. turned out ok, too thick and too fried. but I could do better.

second one turned out better, not thin enough and not fried enough.

third one was perfect. here are the three brothers ^

soon they multiplied and I had too many. i don’t know what to do with all of them they are invading my house. also they kept getting flatter and flatter until i ended up with like rlly thin bread (which was a vast improvement on the previous brothers) they turned out genuinely really good. i mixed some melted butter with tumeric (just because i like tumeric. tumeric #1 spice) paprika (also #1 spice they share the title) cayenne pepper and oregano. which is a rlly nice combo that pairs well with the bread forgot to mention i did NOT add garlic because i already added minced garlic to the bread itself (HIGH RISK, high reward, tastes awesome) after this i brought some to my elderly neighbor’s house (we exchange food alot) and she really liked it which made me quite happy. this has been a very fun adventure starting with the idea of giving myself a little treat and ending up having fun in the process, as well as getting to share what ive made with others! i havent gotten to cook in a while due to health issues so getting to get up and do this has made my week.
