[Zhizara]

Good one. I got 11 right, but now I also know 9 more things.

 

[Somebunny]

Wow! I only missed a couple, and here I didn't think I was much if a baker!

 

[buckytom]

shouldn't #11 be d: hardtack?

i'm definitely a bread person. i only missed #19 (and possibly 11), and guessed correctly at 16. but i'm no baker. i just love bread.

especially liquid bread...

 

[Sprout]

I got 14 out of 20 right, not too bad.

I thought proofing was when you added yeast and sugar to warm water and waited until bubbles formed to prove your yeast is still good. Are they both called proofing (or proving)?

I believe you are right, it should be hardtack. Liquid bread! I generally refer to it as Vitamin B-12 or B-16, as in 12oz or 16oz bottles.

[LPBeier]

I was sure 11 was hardtack as well. I missed 7, 19 and 20 (and possibly 11) and I am a baker.....of cakes, not bread! I don't even eat glutenous bread LOL!

 

[luckytrim]

Hardtack is the correct answer for #11..............
somebody wanna fix it for me ?

 

[PrincessFiona60]

I got #19 wrong...plus one point for brown nosing extra credit.
