Bread Science

I LOVE BREAD! I love eating it, of course, but I also love baking it. Come along for a fun ride in the month of November as we explore the science behind baking bread. What is yeast, and what does it do? How do different ingredients affect baking? What about different baking methods? These are some of the topics we will delve into this month as we knit socks inspired by bread science!

Oh, and of course there will be bread recipes included. It’s not necessary to complete the baking in order to fulfill the mystery KAL, but it’s definitely a tasty way to reward yourself for completing each section or to motivate yourself to get started.

This pattern is the mystery sock pattern for November/December in the Sock Knitter’s Anonymous group.
