cooking

A rare phenomenon/a from me. A cake baked from scratch. Heirloom recipe and cake rack. Cake mixes are more usual and always work.
Why is doughy bread popular? It has a raw texture of half cooked solid dough.  
This applies to ordinary and inexpensive bread - the staff of life of yesteryear.
Hot Cross Buns from supermarket are typical. Woolworths and Coles.  Not only sold with no regard to their traditional season and with nontraditional ingredients such as chocolate, they are raw and indigestable.
Uncooked dough is imported from Ireland or somewhere and tossed into ovens in the supermarket chains.
It is simple, pay twice as much and choose decent bread.
Bread maker machines are ok, must have grown tired of it along with other routine kitchen tasks.
 How will the cooking stars of TV feel after a lifetime of cooking?  Some of us have seen it thru and have outdone them.
