I'm (patting myself on the back) a good cook, and my pastries are great. I used to make croissants from scratch. (who has the time or patience any more?) Seriously, one hundred percent from scratch. And they would bring you to your knees. But I can't bake bread to save my life and that is a travesty. I can make brioche, which many people find difficult, but you'd think that would make a standard loaf of white bread a piece of cake. I ALWAYS end up with a brick. The other thing I don't do well is pancakes. Friggin PANCAKES. I wonder what the commonality is.
