Had this too a few times. I’ve started telling them how I bake and about a third in they usually get bored and move on. Or they get curious and a good conversation starts. Either way, as long as I don’t have to write my method down I’m happy

Tell me about it. It’s annoying, as once you understand a few basic things, it’s super straightforward but the second you start to explain fermentation, people switch off.
Good flour,
Long rise (minimal yeast),
More water,
Bake in cast iron. Tick those boxes and you’re already on the way to something decent.

One funny thing about giving bread away is that people like to ask for the recipe.
The ingredients list will only be a couple lines long, but a method that a non baker will understand will be a few pages!
