#bread starters

[theshitpostcalligrapher]

no minecraft stream this week the fermentation on just the levains is gonna take like five fuckin hours

Also gonna try to start tackling the dozen or so commissions that've rolled in since restarting the etsy shop too so see yall for minecraft next week

and I'll be updating yall on how the bread goes as it goes today

I'm not bougie enough to have a proofer for fermentation and shit so I've just heated the oven to between 75-85F (which on my oven is just when you turn on broil for 2-3 minutes then shut it off)

gonna be using this recipe in particular for exactly the same bread so i can taste the difference between them

this recipe makes two loaves, so each starter will have one loaf do its final cold fermentation in a banneton and one in a regular metal bowl:

I'll be sticky-noting the outside of the cooking towels to keep track of which is which loaf when it comes to baking

since they need to ferment overnight, tomorrow morning will be when the first batch of loaves (probably the banneton set) will be going in the oven

I succeeded making a sourdough starter. It is alive still. I don’t know what I’m doing. I have no experience making bread. I have an oven but no bread tin. If anyone sees this please help.

My sourdough starter that I've had for several years died so I'm sad and I can't bake bread.

Not a very superstitious person but I feel I killed it with all my stress.

made gf sourdough today and i didn’t have very high hopes (it was just the recipe on the flour bag that called for the starter to be made just the day before) but it turned out actually pretty good!!!

Saw someone in the tag mention bread making and I tried not to expose myself as someone who is being bitten by the bread making bug but. Lets go. A headcanon I've had for a WHILE now.

Peeta, with Katniss and even Haymitches help has to clear the site of the bakery before he can begin rebuilding. It is, as one would expect, extreamly emotonally taxing but he powers through with their support. There isn't a whole lot to save, but he does manage to get a few boxes. Mosly nonsense stock records. There is a box of the Mellark families most basic recipes he obviously keeps. However the interesting thing is a almost empty box with a larger envolope. Katniss finds it, not quite sure what it is. It has only a date on it, one not long before the bombing.

Upon inspection, Peeta knows exactly what it is. It's saved with the other few boxes and taken home.

The next day Katniss finds Peeta dumping it into a small bowl with water and a little sugar. When asked, he explains that the envelope contains dried yeast his father must have saved. Mixed with warm water and sugar, it is how bread dough rises.

He makes a loaf with it, and somehow it's better than any other he's made in a long time even though there is literally no difference in the recipe he uses.

no those aren’t weird sex noises coming from ur neighbour’s apartment; it’s ur local insomniac slap & folding bread dough in the wee hours of the morning
