Scary yeast

Do you have any special feelings about yeast dough? I had a panic fear. See, growing up in Belarus, the only yeast I knew was natural kind. But I don't think you can find this kind here, only the dry one. So, I thought, if I just let the packages of yeast sit in my cupboard for years and years, it will magically knead itself into dough. Eric tried to make bread few times. One time it was hard like a rock, next time it was a little better, but it still didn't ease my anxiety about messing with the scary yeast.

So, my dear friend told me an easy enough recipe, and I decided to give it a try. IT WORKED!!! It was a surprise for me! Here is what the end product looked like
