Here's how it actually works in my kitchen. I get an idea, I bake it, and about half the time it's wrong. The dough's too wet. The flavor's flat. The thing I was sure would work turns into a brick.

You never see that part. You see the recipe after I've fixed it four times, and it shows up looking like it came out right the first time. It didn't. It never does.

So I'm opening the notebook.

It's called Henry's Notebook, and it's where I'm going to think out loud while I work a recipe out. The math I ran. The thing that surprised me. The mistake I made that nobody warns you about.

And I want you baking it with me. Not after it's finished. While it's still being figured out.

Here's the deal. If a recipe earns it, it goes in the Recipe Pantry and it's yours forever. If it doesn't, it doesn't. Some of these are going to fail, and I'm going to show you that too, because watching something fail teaches you more than watching it work.

First one's up. Tomato Basil Sourdough. I found out the tomatoes were quietly turning a 73% dough into a 94% dough, and the arithmetic is right there in the post.

Bake it with me this week. Tell me what broke. That's the whole point.

Perfection is not required. Progress is.
