= = = OSTRACOD BREAD #001 = = =

I invented OSTRACOD BREAD #001 through experimentation. I iterated through 5 recipes before arriving at this final result. The first recipe was awful, but through trial and error I significantly improved my recipes.

These were the goals I had when designing OSTRACOD BREAD #001:

I think I did OK. It's pretty bread-like.

Ingredients:

Preparation:

  1. Preheat oven to 375 °F.
    (That's 190 °C for all of my international readers.)
  2. Distribute cooking spray onto a round pan 6 inches in diameter.
    (That's 15 cm for all of my international readers.)
  3. In a bowl, whisk water, oil, 3/4 cup flour, and salt.
  4. Add baking powder and whisk.
    (Note: Mixture will bubble up. This is normal. I think?)
  5. Mix in remaining flour (1/2 cup).
  6. Use a spatula to spread mixture into pan.
  7. Bake for 45 minutes or until golden brown.

I hope you enjoy OSTRACOD BREAD #001!
