bake 20: epic fail

i was debating whether or not i should share this bake 20 endeavor.  but after much speculation, realized blogging isn't all about the win- or at least this blog isn't.  it's about keeping it real.  and anyone who is learning how to bake, cook or just boil water, is bound to have a few kitchen failures under their belts.  this is one of mine.

recipe: an "easy" jalapeno-cheese bread

adjustments: none.  i followed the recipe to the letter.  after letting the dough sit for over an hour with no visible rise, i figured a loaf of bread wouldn't be the most successful decision.  so i opted to make biscuits.

review: the biscuits didn't rise in the oven and while their flavor was fantastic, they were a bit like hockey pucks. regardless, we enjoyed them with black bean chili & lucky for us, radley didn't mind the jalapenos.

this was #8 of the bake 20 challenge.

over the next five months i'm going to try my hand at 20 different baked goods.  there's no specific order and no plan.  just making things that look good and hopefully in the process, finding a new appreciation of baking.  feel free to join me in the Bake 20 Challenge.
