Anyone baking their own bread? Got into it recently and got my sourdough starter up and ready early this year. A couple of my loaves
Made a fucking banging white sandwich loaf on Sunday for the kids lunches this week but I forgot to get a pic of it. :(
Starter recipe or best way to obtain a starter? My 12 year old daughter asked to do this together here recently.
I followed the King Arthur Flour starter guide. https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/learn/guides/sourdough
My SIL makes bread. She also started making her own butter and is getting big into "home remedies". I'm just waiting to hear that she puts potatoes in her kids socks at bedtime.
I remember baking bread 2020 when there was no yeast to be found in any grocery stores, and I didn't feel like waiting for a sourdough, so I just used the sediment in the bottom of a kombucha I had in the fridge. Turned out pretty good tbqh
for those that are interested, here is Momma Celemo's recipe for coffee cake bread... Oven 350* 2C milk 2 sticks butter 2 pkg instant dry yeast 1 Tbsp sugar Cut 1 stick of butter into pieces. In medium saucepan hear milk, 1 stuck of butter and sugar until milk is warm and butter is melted. Let cool until mixture is just warm and add yeast. 5-10 lbs flour Two eggs While milk is heating, in large mixing bowl measure out about 4 C flour. Then stir in milk mixture and blend well. Add two eggs and mix well. Then add enough flour until mixture is stiff. Spread about 1 C flour on cool dry surface. Turn dough onto floured surface and knead, adding flour as dough becomes sticky. Knead for 5 minutes until dough forms a ball and is no longer sticky, and is smooth and elastic. Return to bowl, cover with plastic wrap and small towel and set in warm place to rise. Approximately 1-2 hours. Dough should be at least double in size. 3 Tbsp cinnamon 2 Tbsp flour 3 Tbsp sugar 1 stick of butter Mix dry ingredients until blended. When dough has risen, turn out on floured surface and shape into rolls, cakes or loaves. For coffee cake: once dough has been shaped into cakes punch holes all over top. Fill holes with butter, then sprinkle on topping mixture. You can bake in round or square cake pans, or on a cookie sheet on the middle rack of the oven. Once you have applied the topping, cover and let rise for 1-2 hours, if you don't let it rise a second time, loaf will bake into a brick Bake approx 45-55 minutes until nicely browned
My SIL made a loaf of sourdough a few weeks ago that we absolutely destroyed. May see if the Mrs will start dabbling as well
Probably my highest high from making bread so far has been my 4 and 10 y/o's telling me that they love the sandwich bread and they don't want sandwiches on any other bread from the store. So I got that going for me, which is nice
Two things. You underestimate how much I enjoy baking bread, and you seem to really underestimate how many sandwiches you get out of a loaf. I just bake a sandwich loaf every Sunday that lasts them all week
Just wait until puberty hits and they go through a loaf every other day. You will be a bread master when that comes. Also, that was not shade, enjoy the hobby. That bread looks tasty as fuck.
Sunday is for bread making. Will post results Edit: forgot the pic Sourdough about to go in the fridge and proof for awhile
Binging with babish had a collab with Josh wiessman on making sourdough. I just followed their instructions
Lol. Had someone say that after they came over. Like, damn, you're touring our new house. No need to be a dick. And there's kind of a reason that classic white subway tile remains so popular
Wife got into it last year and by far my favorite hobby of hers. She actually just had some neighborhood women over to teach a class Anybody got a good jalapeno cheddar recipe?
I love making banana bread, and zucchini bread, and sweet potato bread. I usually use way too many bananas and that shit is moist. A lot of store-bought bread in America is straight butt. So much fucking sugar.
Kind of inspired me to start making my own when my wife and I realized that we hadn't bought bread in like 2-3 weeks and when we looked at the loaf it was still not moldy. Bread SHOULD be moldy after 2 weeks!
Got a little too eager to share pics and sliced into it a little early, so that's not big air bubbles at the bottom, that's the knife tearing the crumb a bit. Works pretty good for kids sandwiches
