I really need a camera for this. But since I love to experiment with baking, thought I'd give suggestions here.

So I made a potato leek dough yesterday (yeast dough) and decided - hey, there's enough to make a loaf AND rolls. Then I decided, why not twisted rolls, because they're pretty? Then I remembered my last time in China Town in NYC and love of these scallion/green pea rolls.

SO, I took the rolled out dough and cut it into strips. In a pan I mashed together green peas and Mexican green onions (these burn my eyes, unlike other green onions, so are potently yum. They also have a bigger bulb on the bottom). I had browned the onions a bit in butter. I put these in the middle of the strips, pinched teh strips closed, and then twisted them and set them aside to rise.

They turned out awesome. The ends of teh twists burst open a bit, to showcase the pretty greenery inside. A friend came over and together we kind of went through a pan of them (I ended up with two pans of twists and a loaf of bread) Had one for breakfast and still amazing. I suggest filling more bread items with peas and scallions.

I wish I knew how to bake, dont get me wrong I can cook (I do a mean steak) but baking has always been one level above what I can manage.

How do you go from a bag of flour to a cake?

I dont know if I tried I could probably do it but it seems so epic.

Funny stubby, I'm an okay cook, but not great. I started a cooking club to force myself to cook more, but people just want me to bake for it. Baking - it's zen to me. So soothing, and fun, and with great results (and because of my inability to cut a recipe in half, copious amounts of baked goods).

I will say that since moving to 4K above sea level (+)I haven't made a successful cake. I have made awesome cupcakes though and learned how to cut leavening agents for those, but for some reason the last cake I made still came out weird. I salvaged it (into a different dish) but it was still a disappointment.
