#Bread Baking

Hi Tumblr. I often like to bake sourdough bread.

Please reblog so it gets more votes etc.etc.

Below the cut is a few pictures of bread I've baked as proof that I know what I'm doing at least a little bit

Y'all know what's solarpunk? Or at least sustainable? A good sourdough starter. It requires flour, quite a bit of it to get started, but it's healthier for you, and you can use the discard after the initial start phase for all kinds of tasty things meaning no waste and less store bought pancakes, crackers, brownies, breads, etc.

Here's how you make a starter (disclaimer this is how i made it, I've noticed a lot of sourdough purists insisting u need to weigh everything every time you feed and you need a scale for all your recipes, etc i have done none of that and i don't have the energy for all that either)

You need:

Flour, i use unbleached but that's because i had a bag lying around i used for vegan cookies as a gift and i heard it works for starters, Harold (my starter) seems to like it so why change, but I've heard of people using literally any kind of flour

Water, enough to mix into a thick pancake batter consistency

If you feel weird wasting flour you can try the quarantiny starter idea from king Arthur's flour which uses only a tablespoon of flour and some water until it's active and then you bulk it up when you want to bake with it.

You're going to want to add your flour and water and mix until it's a thick pancake batter consistency, i started with a half cup of flour but i left on vacation and my grandma accidentally bulked it up so now it's up to like a cup.

Every 24 hours (not exact measurement and some people swear by feeding it every 12, i do 24 but it varies by person and starter) you are going to want to toss half (in the garbage at this stage) and mix in about the same amount of flour as the mixture you just tossed (ex. You estimate you tossed half cup of starter, add half cup of flour to remainder in jar) add enough water til you reach consistency. I've gotten told this doesn't work but my starter is happy and thriving so I'm sticking with it.

Once your starter is active and consistently doubling within 8 hours after feeding (you will notice it does this in the first few days, that's Bad Yeast do not use. Your starter will hit a slump and then come back to rising, that's good yeast. I recommend putting a rubber band or hair tie where it is after u feed so u can monitor rise easier) experts recommend waiting ten days from initial starter start date to use it, i waited three weeks. Toss all starter at feeding during this time.

ONCE UR STARTER IS ACTIVE then u can save all the stuff u were tossing in a jar in the fridge (i use an old spaghetti sauce jar, and my starter is also in a big olive jar lmao) and use it in recipes that doesn't require yeast, this is sourdough discard and you can find a ton of recipes online for it.

If you want to use it to bake bread, you will use it when it's at its peak rise area, usually double what it was when you feed it. This is the yeast being all active and happy which will rise your bread. I recommend this recipe for beginners:

I reduced the salt to 1 tsp and added probably around a cup and a half of whole wheat flour, i had it lying around and why not. Changes will depend on your elevation and what works for you, it's not a science which is why no recipe will work for literally everybody. Almost everybody's first sourdough bread will fail one way or another but 98% of the time it's still edible and you learn!!!

Feel free to ask questions :)

Edit: forgot to mention that you should keep your jar covered, but don't screw the lid on, i just use the flat part of a canning lid placed on top

Been experimenting with making my own sourdough bread at home because I have Celiac disease and gluten-free groceries are expensive.

I've made a fantastic (and very active!) sourdough starter with this recipe from Gluten Free on a Shoestring and used a bread recipe from the same blog to make a couple of loaves.

The first loaf was made with Bob's Red Mill all-purpose GF flour, and the second was made with the King Arthur brand GF baking flour. I like the texture on the second loaf better, but it didn't rise as much as I would like so next week I might toss some baking powder in there to give the yeast some help.

Advice from fellow gluten-free bakers is welcome. <3

I baked more bread. The boules are parmesan, roasted garlic and seeded sourdough, and the other is a pan de mie sourdough that I baked without the lid.

Some recent flattttt baguettes. Testing out my partners oven with minimal cooking gear. It was an experience to be sure

Been practicing my sourdough bread baking the last few weeks.

This is Roachie, my starter.

And some successful bakes! The marble rye was a pillowy dream, but the chocolate beer bread was my favorite. Been using Flour Power by Tara Jensen as my textbook. Excellent resource!

I’m baking a bread today. I decided to do a challah dough, but instead of separating and braiding the dough, I rolled it out and added a mix and cinnamon, brown and white sugar and chopped pecans. Then I rolled it up and tucked the ends down and put it in a loaf pan. It’s rising now and when it’s done, I’ll score it, egg wash and sprinkle with leftover filling mix. Then bake!

I did forget to put butter on the dough but I’m praying that because the dough is eggy, it’ll keep it moist enough?

Hope it’s good!

Today's bake. Wanted sandwich bread so I made this super simple honey wheat bran bread. Basically just water, yeast, honey, salt, 2 eggs, wheat bran and unbleached flour.

Today’s bread. 85% hydration, gelatinized starch in the water, a few stretch and folds, overnight rise, cold ferment - beautiful open crumb and thin, crispy crust. The best bread I’ve made in years.
