Write about your most epic baking or cooking fail.

We seldom ever buy bread

We mostly bake our own

If you use a breadmaker

Nothing should go wrong.

Just add the ingredients

Put them in a tin

Following the recipe

You’ll make a perfect loaf.

---

---

First you add a little yeast

Then weigh out the flour

Then measure out the sugar,

Salt and butter (or olive oil).

---

Just these few ingredients

And you’re almost done

But disaster will occur

If you miss the final one.

---

Don’t forget the water

As I occasionally do!

It‘s all fine for an hour or two

The dough‘s supposed to rest

But when the proper baking starts

You get that fateful smell.

---

I can’t describe the outcome

It is an awful powdery mess

And clearing out the outcome

Not an easy task.

---

I really recommend them

Means even I can bake

But catering for forgetfulness?

Well what do you expect?
