I haven't been too consistent on this one, so let's just modify the goal to cook 12 new things from a cookbook! This weekend my niece Cheyenne helped me make homemade PIZZA!! So many questions came up:
- does a teaspoon of sea salt equal a teaspoon of regular salt??!! Not sure, but the pizza dough was way too salty!!
- how do you measure yeast? It says on the back of the packet that one packet equals 2 1/4 teaspoon....but I only needed 1 1/2 of a teaspoon....so I used a teaspoon, but it took the whole packet to fill it up?!
- are there any special rules for using wheat flour?
Cheyenne didn't complain, though, so I am content!

A few comments:
- sea salt is way more potent...ask the Salt Queen!!
- I use 3/4 t of yeast in my recipe...It uses 1 1/2 c of flour and 1 c water...and the dough rises fine! I think you measure it the same way, but I didn't think there was 2 1/4 in a packet!!
- When I use wheat flour, I will use at the most half and half. It gets real gritty otherwise. Currently as I am pregnant, I only use about a cup because any more and I am grossed out.
- I am ALSO reading Orthodoxy right now!! Second time...it's one of my favorites!!
