Creme Caramel



Ingredients

3/4 cup sugar
1 liter milk
3/4 cup sugar
8 eggs (or 10 egg yolks)

Instructions


Prepare 12 ramekins and line a large, semi-deep, baking pan. Set aside. Place 3/4 cup sugar into saute pan on medium heat. Rotate pan around so the sugar does not burn. Continue until it is caramelized and amber brown in color. Pour caramel equally into each ramekin. Put aside. Take a large bowl and mix eggs with the other 3/4 cup sugar until fully incorporated. Add milk and stir thoroughly or use an electronic mixer. Distribute mixture evenly into ramekins and place into the oven. Pour water into pan, about 3/4 of the pan's height. Set oven to 360 f and bake until a knife comes out clean from the center.

*Optional* With a knife, carefully cute around the edges of the Creme and place a plate on top of it. Turn upside down and serve.
 *If water boils while baking, add cold water. 
*Baking time depends on how much mixture is in each ramekin. Mine were overfilled and thus took, roughly, two hours to bake.

Bread : Attempt #1

I have always loved the idea of making bread. Activating the yeast in water with sugar, kneading the dough until it is the right texture, and watching as it doubles in size over a few hours. The recipe I found was for a crustier type of bread, because I really like the crunch to every bite. Also it is supposed to be easier than other types of dough.



No-Knead Crusty Artisan Bread

I used the recipe in this link:

***Instead of using dry yeast, I used 30 grams of live yeast (the cubed ones) activated in water with a spoonful of sugar and flour.



Here is the bread after we let it rise for about an hour.


   This is after it was baked in the oven.

Since I do not have my tablet and pen, I am making do with my finger and touch-screen laptop.

My cousin showed me this drawing app for handheld devices called "ibisPaint X". I usually don't like painting on my phone due to the inaccuracy of using my finger, but this software is very well made and compensates for that!
