This is yet again a post that is not strictly related to children — but I saw this video on the Guardian website and I just had to blog about it. I love baking and have been attempting to do some baking with yeast, but I truly had no idea about how it is done properly. I have always wondered why the bread I make does not have a real crust like the bread sold in the bakery… and now I know. After watching this video I completely understand why people train for years to become a baker — there is so much craftsmanship involved.

By the way, I love the way this guy has a special tool just to cut a little slit on the top of the dough.
