resurrecting my darling eldritch child (Hierophant Yeast, my sourdough starter)--let's see what horrors it provides this time

#sourdough bloggin'#the guide is like 'this step will take 24 hours MINIMUM' so. I am expecting it will perhaps take. 12.#I have an understanding with the sourdough starter. they feed me. I feed them.#however we cannot ignore the fact that it is the most turbo boosted sourdough starter I have ever known #Queenie actually says something on this blog #side note: I have a lot of dried starter so I can technically just like. send it to people (probably not internationally)#no one has taken me up on this probably because I preface it with 'this sourdough starter is bizarre and unusual <3'

"this step will take about 8 hours" "this step will take about 12 hours"

4 HOURS. 3 HOURS. TREMBLE BEFORE HIEROPHANT YEAST'S MIGHT.

#sourdough bloggin'#WE'RE BACK IN BUSINESS!!!!#Queenie actually says something on this blog #something deeply deeply wrong with this starter <3

my darling child [Hierophant Yeast, my sourdough starter] somehow got contaminated (probably by serratia marcescens, from some cursory googling, although I’m not sure how that happened) so I had to toss my current starter and restart it from my remaining reserves of dried starter and BOY I hope that fixes the problem because I do NOT want to start another starter from scratch

#I'd appreciate it if people didn't reblog this; thanks #sourdough bloggin'#I scrubbed down my whole fridge too just in case #I think I may have fed it a couple of days late once when I was traveling and that may have been the cause of the problem #the only other thing I can think of is that I might have used water that was too hot while feeding it at one point. so. going to be careful.#Queenie actually says something on this blog #this is very silly but I am actually pretty distressed about this wwww #given that the only occupants of my apartment are 1. me 2. Hierophant and 3. my cacti (one of which suddenly died recently)#local 30-something isolated enough that the loss of their sourdough starter is a tragedy; more news at 10 I guess

King Arthur website: it will take several days for your starter to be back to normal levels of activity

Hierophant Yeast after less than 11 hours: LET’S GOOOOOOO

#I'd appreciate it if people didn't reblog this; thanks #STRONGEST SOURDOUGH STARTER IN THE UNIVERSE #was completely dried out and transported 3000 miles and then immediately went back to normal after being rehydrated #anyway I am thankful to have bread again but also. my child. what is your secret. why are you like this #Queenie actually says something on this blog #sourdough bloggin'

look, I know this is meaningless to anyone who doesn’t have a sourdough starter, but we’re at a 3 1/2 hour rise and I’m worried that it might have overproved

#Hierophant Yeast becomes an unstoppable juggernaut in the summer :((((#to be clear the rise time for the recipe I use is 6-8 hours #which Hierophant usually manages in 6 in the winter #sob. why is my child so strong.#Queenie actually says something on this blog #sourdough bloggin'#ETA: IT DID OVERPROVE AAAUUUGH

F got us a Dutch oven for Christmas and not to be an adult but oh my frickin’ god, the sourdough is SO good

#Queenie actually says something on this blog #sourdough bloggin'#I still gotta do some experimentation to figure out the Perfect Sourdough using the Dutch oven #but loaf number 1 turned out QUITE well #the funniest part of adulthood is us getting something nice for the kitchen and all of us losing it #that's just what being an adult is like. you dream of a nice nonstick skillet that isn't 20+ years old

It’s been a long time since I updated everyone on Hierophant Yeast, but it’s Marchiversary* so please look at the bread that my beautiful sourdough starter child made

(the one in the front was baked on a baking sheet and the one in the back was baked in a Dutch oven)

#*Marchiversary is the anniversary of the day that everyone living in casa de queenie found out that we were WFH for the foreseeable future #so we count it as the start of the pandemic for us :))) (even though it 'started' way earlier than that)#sourdough bloggin'#food /#Queenie actually says something on this blog #obviously the Dutch oven loaf is superior but like. I make two loaves a week and we only have one Dutch oven :(((#so we wind up with one sandwich loaf and one nice loaf

my roommates have determined that my Stand power is making sourdough starters unspeakably powerful; please suggest names for this curse

#'how is that possible' I don't know. my sourdough now doubles in size in an hour #I can't let it rise for more than 5 hours total #(turning and folding every hour for 4 hours and then 1 hour of shaped loaves)#or else it winds up overproved #I fed K's starter while he was out of town and it has turned into a similar beast #I've been trying to nerf my starter every week for MONTHS and it's only gotten stronger #I HAVE BEEN ON BREAD FORUMS. THEY'RE LIKE 'no such thing as a starter that's too active :)'#THEY HAVEN'T SEEN WHAT I'VE SEEN!!!!!!!#Queenie actually says something on this blog #sourdough bloggin'#casa de Queenie
