I make bread. Every time I make bread that is better than my standard it's because I accidentally deviated from my standard recipe. When that happens I will sometimes make a note of what exactly I did and then try to do it again, but I never got the same results that way. In fact I never get the same results with my standard recipe either. There is always variation, even when I use the same flour from the same sack.
I don't think baking is like you say at all.
- glandium 3y agoBread making is influenced by air humidity and temperature.

- glandium 3y agoNo.
- YeGoblynQueenne 3y agoOK, thanks for clarifying. In that case, I suspect you must be a mathematician.
- glandium 3y agoNot sure what you mean, but no.
- YeGoblynQueenne 3y agoOh, it's an old joke. It goes like this: A man in a balloon realises he's lost and, spotting another man walking his dog in a field, descends to ask the dog walker for directions. "Do you know where I am?" asks the balloon man. "Yes" answers the dog walker. "You are in the basket of a hot air balloon, hovering a few feet over an empty field, talking to a man walking his dog". "Ah", says the balloon man. "You must be a mathematician". "That's right" says the dog walker. "How did you know?" "Because" says the balloon man "you gave me an answer that is at once entirely correct and completely useless".
