Notes: At first I thought a yeast bread would have been an awfully ambitious project for the CC to attempt given our time constranits. But if we started the dough when we first arrived, then had 1 /12 hours for it to rise, we still would have had to time to drink, have apps and plan our next meeting. Sticky buns may have been the ONLY item on the menu that night?
