I am absolutely terrified of baking. Cooking I'm good with, but the exactness needed with baking stresses me out so much. I've also learned that I'm one that over-knead's, and so most of my things are very dense. No-knead bread might be just up my alley! I'll have to give this a try and see how it works out!
I was the exact opposite when I started, because I loved that baking was exact. I've gotten better at both over the years through practice, practice, practice. Just give it a try and see how it goes. Worst case you're out a little flour and salt. Best case you end up with some amazing bread you can eat. These loafs also work great for making shooter sandwiches as well.
Feel free to head over to /t/baking if you have any questions. It's a pretty new tribe, but I will be posting new content every day as well as answering any questions.
I got into baking when I was little because it was almost like doing a science experiment, with all of the measurements and reactions. The exactness of it can be fun in its own way.
Different things are much less exact when it comes to baking. Breads in general I've found to be tough, but pies (if you just use the pre-made crusts) are much easier!
