#this is abt sourdough starter

We aren't gonna talk abt what happened to Elvis 2.0 (straight up forgot I had that going). It's Elvis 2.1 now

[leondxs]

so many people on my social medias are making sourdough starters which hell yeah pop off queens but also they scare me

[berryblu-soda]

absolutely overcooked a foccacia today btw dsjfhhfsm (ignore the fork lol)

i offer thee the recipe: https://youtu.be/n_W52dypZpA bc its good but also so you see how bad i messed up hahaha (do reccomend adding a teeny bit less salt tho; it was salty enough for me)

still thinking abt constance blackwood.

i bet she'd have picked up a bunch of 'internet trendy' hobbies like crochet and building lego flowers and keeping sourdough starters and bracelet making. i bet she's a middle child and always saves part of her snack for her little brother. i bet she was an og roblox player. i bet she has fairy lights in her room. i bet her toothbrush is purple. i bet she hated her curly hair/didnt know how to care for it and tried to brush it out and slick it down for ages. i bet she collects crystals and tarot cards without really knowing their meaning. i bet she loves hello kitty. i bet she has posters in her room of david bowie. i bet she watches musical slime tutorials. i bet she never finishes her sketchbooks. i bet she loves asmr and mukbang videos. i bet she loves christmas and eggnog and decorating. i bet she helps to stitch patches in her siblings' clothes. i bet she loves snakes and ladders even though the board game is 'childish.' i bet she has a pair of fraying earbuds that she has to twist around to work a little bit. i bet she loves fuzzy socks and has a bunch of fun designs on hers that she diys to patches once they get holes in them. i bet she has a favorite cardigan. i bet she does eccentric makeup she always wanted to use before she showers so nobody else has to see. i bet she owned a pink purple and turquoise coloured blog. i bet her favorite shape was a diamond, her favorite animal something kooky like a possum or a pigeon. i bet she loves pokemon. i bet she collects pinecones and leaves and sticks.

i bet she has so much about her that nobody else has ever tried to see before.

mc cant make bread at the house of lamentation. unless its one with a very short resting time and while beel is away at a game/other time consuming activity bc otherwise he just. eats the raw dough. and likes it like a sweet lil weirdo. and of course he gets rly guilty abt it seeing mcs face when they come outta the kitchen like 'does anyone know what happened to my bread 🥺'

sometimes if he knows mc wants to make bread hell make a point to stay out for most of the day so hes not tempted. otherwise mc has to go to the demon lords castle (fancy and prolly has a proof box, but availability can be spotty) or purgatory hall (risk of solomon)

also, since the devildom tends to be much warmer than the human world i bet rising/rest times are cut much shorter. but it begs the question of if yeasts native to the devildom need higher temperatures to activate. probably i feel thatd make sense.

also mild fluff headcanon: barbatos sees mc's interest in the differences between human world and devildom yeasts and helps them build a lil sourdough starter experiment where they make ones from the different types and see how they compare :) And since starters can become specialized to the bacteria of the person who made it (when its mixed by hand) they obvs have to each do a set of human world and devildom starters (barb likes to give them bread made from the starters specialized to him cuz it feels like a way of marking mc :3 )

do i know how to be concise? no. is bread science sick as hell? yes. -🥐

YO I love all of this!!

Okay okay, Beel eating bread dough, though. And deliberately making sure he's not home when MC wants to bake bread, that is so so CUTE. Poor baby Beel can't keep himself away from the bread dough and has to leave the house entirely so MC can bake some bread in peace, please that's adorable.

I definitely think the castle is probably the best option for alternative baking locations. As you pointed out, Purgatory Hall is too risky.

I know nothing about yeast. The only bread I've ever baked has been bread that's actually cake. You know, like pumpkin bread and zucchini bread. They're really cake, right? They taste like cake. I think it's the loaf formation that causes people to call them bread. All of this is to say that I feel I have learned some new facts about yeast. It never ever would have crossed my mind that the Devildom temperature would impact the rate at which yeast rises. And I LOVE the idea of native Devildom yeast!

You killed me with that fluffy Barb headcanon... BARB give me all your bread made from your specialized starters lasdfkjldfkj. Everyone must know whose bread I'm eating!! Please that's such a cute way of being possessive and so totally his style. It's like this one is mine, but I'm not going to be loud about it or anything. I'm indicating it with my bread. I love it. I love him.

Once again, I know nothing of bread baking, but I would give my soul to have a sourdough starter experiment with Barbatos. It's such a cute little scenario, I absolutely love it.

Ahhh what would I do without you bringing all the baking knowledge to my ask box, 🥐 anon?? I'm really in love with all of these ideas!

I don't normally feel compelled to do this but this post is SO Voidcore i had to put it here

I know i talk abt how much of a sweetheart he...well, is capable of being, but he is also so sus to almost everyone he meets at first. The way he talks, carries himself, the total red and black w/ sometimes tiny bits of white colour scheme, the way he seems to effortlessly wield terrifying power and 'think nothing of it', especially in harsher universes, his motives? Help just because? Uh huh, yeah, sure Lord Darksythe of the Aetherverse, whatever you say man

And then he goes back to his cottagecore house that's covered in flowers with a large thriving garden out back, where he occasionally provides haven for refugees and lost children, and winds down for the day by baking fresh sourdough with the starter he made a few days prior to go with the soup he put on that morning and crocheting sweaters for his cats while it bakes

could i ask abt ☃️ and 🥧 for silas x aki? :3

you absolutely can!

☃️ in the winter time, is there anything fun you two do together? make snowmen, snow angels, bake holiday treats?

we go to hokkaido every winter to visit aki's family! aki grew up in the snow so it's familiar to him, and i grew up with no snow so it's very novel and wonderful for me. it brings out our inner children in different ways. we like to go for hikes and explore the snowy forest around our bnb.

when we're in tokyo, we go to a lot of night markets and food festivals and let denji and power run loose while we're gift shopping for them, then split up and shop for each other. secondhand and handmade/small biz gifts are the standard in our house. then we usually wrap up the night at a ramen shop for dinner and go home to watch movies.

🥧 have you and your f/o tried to bake something together? how did it go? what did you make?

aki and i were the sourdough starter people during covid lockdown hgjfdks but we absolutely cook and bake together all the time! i think a lot of recipes can be tedious and require more patience and aki is better suited for that than i am, so he might be the better baker. as for what we bake, i think it's mostly bread and some desserts like cheesecakes. we are strictly a hokkaido milk household, aki doesn't even drink much dairy but he insists it's the best and i have to agree.

the thing abt a sourdough starter is that i love bread, both eating and baking it, and i love bacteria. so like. its truly the best idea for me isnt it. like... you can grow bacteria at home and its actually your friend you can make bread with???? damn. truly the gift that keeps on giving

[dayurno]

sourdough starter kind of scares me but i do think jean moreau would have a jar of starter and care for it like a child in his 30s. he’s got bread to make and if anyone fucks with his six year old sourdough starter there’s going to be issues. no one else is allowed to even touch the jar. sometimes kevin moves it to get to something and jean is like What the fuck is wrong with you and kevin just puts up with it bc what’s he supposed to do? not let jean treat the starter like a member of the family?

DYING AT KEVIN GETTING OPPRESSED W SOURDOUGH STARTER its really true..... its really true....... because kevjean are two traumatized millennials i dont think they would ever actually have children (though it is very cute if they do in fics) (jean is not amalia's stepfather he's the father that stepped up) so i can see them having weird attachments to other kind of stuff. jean is like an old man chasing children off his porch w a shotgun abt this sourdough starter because its so fucking old and renee gave it to him and it makes the okayest bread ever and he refuses to let it go :) i think he uses it for only very important events like when something mildly bad happens to andrew. they had sourdough for like 3 weeks straight when andreil had a fight and andrew spent a weekend over to cool down

i also love the idea of jean being an obsessive cook. you can tell how hes feeling by what hes cooking. kevin knows somethings bothering him when their fridge is full of weird half finished recipes. when renee got married to some fucking guy from the peace corps kevin had to donate half of their food because jean was cooking more than they could ever possibly eat. very hard living with the 6'5 unmedicated version of elmo

[why-the-heck-not]

2nd batch of sourdough! Lots better than the first, actually got some crumb structure this time (bc the starter is finally ready for bread)

[trickstarbrave]

i know not everyone knows everything but some ppl are freaking out on tiktok over yeast of all things. like toddler meltdowns.

"i looks gross!!! is this even vegan???? what the fuck is wrong with you making this????" this is a sourdough starter. natural yeast that lives on grain eats the sugars and makes co2 which makes bread rise. bakers yeast is like a dried, lab grown version of this. are you 5 years old. this is what is in every yeast bread you have ever eaten. sourdough also has bacteria (THAT IS SAFE TO EAT) that gives it a tang or 'sour' flavor, like in yogurt.

humans have been fermenting food for thousands of years i promise it is not scary and if you have a fear of holes you can keep scrolling you do not need to comment abt how much it scares u and grosses u out bc then you'll only see more of it

[soupieoopieisloopie]

Since Nanami likes bread, I’ve been thing abt Nanami going through the struggles of making a sourdough starter.

He would definitely have to start over a SHITLOAD of times after not feeding it for so many days

One time he got a solid streak and then, he kinda stopped coming home. Poor sourdough starter :(

[beebento]

thinking abt going feral. thinking abt what it'd be like to eat sourdough starter raw

[brechtian]

Do I have any sourdough pros following me? I started my starter 5 days ago and for the first time it is tripled in size and has lots of big air bubbles which is great but that’s abt as far as my recipe gets me and I’m now realizing I have no idea how to maintain/store/use this starter I’m cultivating. Like where do I go from here

[deansbipanic]

hi im a rando that was lurking in the sourdough tag and i saw ur post abt sourdough like a month ago (sorry). how's ur starter doing? have u baked with it? (<-guy who is also starting out with sourdough)

my starter is super active and bubbly now, and i’ve baked a few loaves of bread with it!

it took my starter way longer than i expected it to take to be ready to bake with. i was expecting two weeks and it took about a month and a half but we got there eventually!

[samfucker]

here's a few cus i love to share

when i was a kid i fell on a glass table and it broke and i had to get stitches and stuff and couldn't sleep on my back til I got them out

i ate a whole tomato like it was an apple when i was like 8 in poland

another time in poland i got chased by a chicken and it was the most terrifying thing ever at the time

one time at the beach me and my older brother were playing in the water and stuff and he pushed me down and i got a mouthful of salty ass water and split my little toe and the side of my foot open on a slippy rock and waddled over to my parents and since my feet were wet the sand got stuck to my injured foot and i was abt to lose my mind

i used to be scared of sourdough bread starters

one time i told this kid that i was scared of the little girl from the ring and that sometimes i was scared she'd come after me and he told my mom abt it infront of a bunch of other ppl and my mom was like nooo matt isn't scared of anything right matt?? and i had to act all tough and stuff cus i got embarrassed that he told people abt my fear of the ring girl

yall don't even gotta gimme a character i js love to talk LMFAOOOOO

guys i’m bored tell me something that happened to you/something about yourself and let me give you a redacted character
