Gut Healthy

By Greg Schmitty

(Dedicated to Jeshastevens on TikTok… you have led me astray for the last time)

it was Sunday night

You wanted another

Iced cream

Sandedwhich

You were craving

Two soft and chewy

Chocolate chip cookies

A layer of

Vanilla ice cream

In between

The cookies were sour dough

And naturally fermented

So they were

Gut healthy

Gut healthy

For you

But not for me

Your gut biome rejoice

At the blessing of

Fermentation

Your crops flourished

Your nations grew healthy

Gut healthy

My gut biome wept

Pillaged

Crops salted

Land flooded

The balance upset

As an upset stomach

Cursed with disease

I

B

S

Nation collapsed

Torn asunder

Only darkness

A war cry

A hurricane

Then nothing

But it was gut healthy

She said

Naturally fermented

Gut healthy

Two soft and chewy

Chocolate chip cookies

With a layer of vanilla ice cream

In between

It was gut healthy

For who?

What is gut healthy for God

Makes humanity weep

Fourth times the charm. Making sourdough might be easy for most but trying to make this with disabilities means adapting to a different way of doing things.

I simply can’t knead bread anymore, it’s beyond my dexterity now as my joints continue to be affected by this condition (EDS for the curious). All the recipe I had been trying to do were for stretch and fold, then shaping. I tried to adapt to them but simply wasn’t finding success.

That was until I found a standmixer recipe. The first one I tried was half stand mixer half traditional. So I figured I’d merge the first and second parts into one stand mixer recipe. By this point I was on my third loaf, suffice to say third time was not the charm. It was another pancake.

Then finally I found a loaf made entirely with the stand mixer with minimal shaping before bulk fermentation. The shaping was also done with a tool.

I followed this new method and it worked the first time. I wish I’d found this method sooner!

My recipe was 350g of room temperature filtered water, 100g of rye sourdough starter (fed the night before), 525g of wholemeal bread flour (Dove’s Farm) and 10g of Himalayan salt.

I used a standard paddle for the initial mix then the dough hook for gluten development (what would normally be the stretch and fold part of the process). In the end I had it on for 15/20 minutes. I then proofed it in a proofing basket (Brod and Taylor) for about four and a half hours then transplanted it to a banneton basket to bulk ferment overnight in the fridge.

In the morning I warmed up the oven for 30 minutes on 230°C before adding the loaf to a bread oven. I scored the loaf beforehand and cooked the first half for 25 minutes before removing the lid and cooking for a further 20 minutes. The picture you see is what it looked like after the second half of cooking was complete. Perfect blistering and nice ear.

What I would different is proof it less. It was nearly triple the size when I took it out before bulk fermentation and I think that over proofed it. So I will tweak it a little the next time I do this.

The best part is I didn’t need to do too much. Most of the work is actually the maintenance of the starter. The bread making part with the stand mixer was the easiest in the end, once I got that part right and stopped trying to do a loaf like able bodied people do.

My goal is to make a 100% spelt loaf with a spelt starter. I will wait until I’m a little more seasoned before attempting that though.

Very happy with how this loaf turned out.

As an aside I used rice flour to prevent the loaf from sticking to the bread basket. This worked a charm. I have learnt so much through this process (plus hours of watching YouTube videos) and built my confidence up. It also helps me feel a little bit more independent which is so valuable when you have disabilities.
