Baked some sourdough over the weekend. My scoring still needs work, but I'm not really motivated to do anything about it. Next time, I'm not splitting the loaves. I might venture out to...

My first job was delivering chinese food, paid under the table. I think it was $7/hr plus tips. Single 5 hour shift was enough for gas, a couple meals at the diner and maybe a movie if I didn't get...

Adding to this, you add all purpose flour which has significantly less yeasts than whole wheat. Thatxs why you begin a starter with whole wheat.

I kinda picture it like medieval castle warfare,...

I was at a loss as to what to do for my mother today and decided my favorite sourdough recipe would be right up her alley.

That's so cool! Thank you for sharing that! I would love to try some other starters, but I'm well aware I don't have the discipline to care for multiple starters...

I got my starter split and fed....

Biscuits are tough to make, something about the science of keeping the fats in the batter cold (the butter) and minimizing gluten formation.

Last night, made a 100% whole wheat sourdough loaf in...

A week for the initial growing/building was a bit short for me. I went by a rule of thumb I read somewhere that it should visibly double in volume 1-4 hours after feeding. I think I went 10 or 12...

Some sourdough for grilled cheeses tonight

That's good info to know. Thankfully, I should be good in the baking items for a bit. Really regretting not buying a 2lb block of yeast back in february though.

Was finally able to get my hands...

Moat of my bread last 5 or so days, which is just enough time to not make me too annoyed at baking breads that often.

For a bit, I have this sourdough sandwich loaf I finished up last night. It is...

I've read many of pinklather's posts over the years, hope he is well.

Made a quick sandwich bread last night. Similar recipe as I've done in the past, but I didn't like how 50-50 AP to whole wheat...

If you need some yeast, lemme know, ship ya over a few tablespoons. Was able to get a jar this past weekend

Okay. 5 hours was well over stated. Initial rise until airy took 2 hours. I couldn't get the air bubbles to show, but they grew fast.

Separated out and rise for "2-4" hours. Second pic...

Now for a 5 hour proof.

Got my sourdough starter finally done!

It is a process, feeding a stupid jar for a week. Although, I figured out a couple ways to make the process easier to make a starter. If anyone uses the...

My mom is getting interested in baking bread after eating some of what I have made. Unfortunately, all 5 grocery stories in my vicinity are sold out of yeast as well, so she has to borrow some of...

Remaking the whole wheat recipe I tried. Going to without the cinnamon this time. I have turkey for my sandwiches this week, and from experience, the cinnamon and turkey mix ain't very good.

Got a much improved loaf last night.

The changes I made for this recipe include:
1) Used the proper sized pan, was using a 5x9, went to the 4.5 x 8.5 as called for.
2) Kneading, I didn't go...

I knead by hand, been going for 10-15 min.

I did a classic white sandwich bread yesterday, and it did seem to be rising well in front of my heat vent. Although, what height I had (bout an inch...

Probably around 70F. During second rise, I had the bread pan with the dough sitting on top of my oven after I was done baking something else. It gets some added warmth there.

I took another shot and now I think I might just be a crap beginner bread baker.

Same recipe, followed it to a T this time. Yeast was a wee over measured, intentionally.

I made sure to reserve...

It's funny you mention that, the dough was a bit on the sticky side from other doughs I've seen/made. Though, I prefer to blindly follow a recipe on the first crack. I'll hold off on adding gluten...

Trying my hand at baking my own bread for my lunches. Did this recipe last night...

Y'all make me feel like such an underachiever... (eating bag bread and peanut butter sandwich)
