My doughy mess

I tried experimenting with making dough for calzones this morning and ended up making a big, sticky, floury, yeasty mess...Here are some pics that prove my total ineptitude when it comes to all things kitchen-related.

I tried making the dough two times before running completely out of flour. The second time, I think I didn't make the flour "bowl" deep enough and the yeast exploded all over my countertop. Ick... (Looked worse than the picture indicates, but you get the idea).

















Actually, I'm not a terrible baker. I love following recipes and have gotten particularly good at baking banana bread. FoodFit.com is a great site that will take your everyday calorie-loaded recipe and show you healthier alternatives using ingredients like honey or other natural sweeteners. I made these delicious cupcakes the other day using buttermilk instead of butter and they tasted just as rich and buttery...Yum!

Well, I'm off to go buy more flour (or perhaps some pre-made pizza dough?).
