Rant: My aunt swore her bread recipe was foolproof
She said to add an extra cup of flour because the dough was too sticky, but it turned into a dry brick that barely rose. Has anyone else had a relative give you baking advice that completely backfired?

Oh man, "foolproof" bread recipes are the biggest lies out there. My grandma swore by her pie crust recipe but when I tried it, the dough crumbled into a sandy mess because she forgot to tell me the butter had to be practically frozen.

wait the butter thing is actually a big deal though. like if it's not cold enough it'll melt into the flour before it bakes and then your crust gets all dense and greasy instead of flaky. your grandma probably just forgot to mention that one small detail.
