I changed one thing and suddenly sourdough made sense

The detail that surprised me was how much a trailhead changed the outcome. Same plan, different setting, completely different energy.

Context: I am not an expert, just someone trying to make Baking feel less intimidating. I wrote down what worked, what felt awkward, and what I would do differently next time.

> Tiny progress is still progress.

That line sounds cheesy, but it got me through the part where cookies stopped feeling new.

I am mostly here for the follow-up. It reminds me of a very specific conversation near the corner shop.

Glad you shared it; small wins count. I care less about the perfect answer and more about repeatability. This is the kind of thing that tastes better the next day.
