I've decided good bread at home is too much damn work. I've done the sourdough thing, I've done Flour, Water, Salt, Yeast, I've done baguettes the slow & hard, correct way. I've put a lot of time into it. Results far too mixed, and never amazing. I still make bread but I don't bother with fancy shit anymore. Just mix up a simple ratio dough in the standing mixer, rest it, and bake. I use lame dry-instant yeast—I've discovered, after much trying, that I hate basically everything about keeping sourdough starters. The space they take up in the fridge, the mess, the way they look, having to "feed" them, the waste (don't listen to hip eco-conscious mommy bloggers, you can't use excess starter to make pancakes—I'm still haunted by that one). The care require in prepping it to even maybe get a half-decent rise. Nope, never again.
