Here's why bread making is the best hobby:

  1. Minimal equipment and ingredients to get started

  2. Amount of time is up to you. You can select a recipe that suits your needs. Plus you can go and do other things while the dough proofs and cooks, so if you make a 3 hour loaf, you still get some of that time back.

  3. Most of bread making is working on your skills and knowledge and is highly rewarding as a result

  4. You make tasty bread that will either contribute to your weekly pantry or makes a great gift for others.

  5. Store bought bread sucks ass. Once you start making your own, you'll never go back.

I went back because I wasn't getting good enough results

I want to try again. but I did start making my own and then go back

Same here. French bread is weirdly hard to make.

my brother has a pretty foolproof baguette recipe he might be willing to share
