I don't bake bread every day. More like once a week, because that's how quickly we eat it.
I have so much more confidence in bread baking now, though (even though I managed to kill my starter, but that's a different story).
I was just thinking about your bread, nostr:npub1wqfzz2p880wq0tumuae9lfwyhs8uz35xd0kr34zrvrwyh3kvrzuskcqsyn
When I taught myself to bake artisan bread, I baked every day, sometimes multiple times per day. I read everything I could find about it, grew my own starter, tried out different flours and forms and techniques.
We were all so sick of bread, and then I suddenly stopped and went to one or two loaves per week and it's been like that ever since.
But I can bake 15 types of bread without a recipe and it's always like 🤌🏼
And then I spent 3 years working in a bakery.

A good anecdote from my experience is I wanted to learn a guitar arrangement of the theme from The Mandalorian a year or so ago. It was way above my skill level at the time. For a month that was the only thing that I practiced, until I finally had it down.
This piece used an alternate tuning, right-hand tapping, harmonics, and some bizarre chord shapes. But now I have some additional techniques under my belt that I can apply to other pieces. And I can brush up on The Mandalorian theme whenever I want. It's a cool piece.
