no minecraft stream this week the fermentation on just the levains is gonna take like five fuckin hours

Also gonna try to start tackling the dozen or so commissions that've rolled in since restarting the etsy shop too so see yall for minecraft next week

and I'll be updating yall on how the bread goes as it goes today

I'm not bougie enough to have a proofer for fermentation and shit so I've just heated the oven to between 75-85F (which on my oven is just when you turn on broil for 2-3 minutes then shut it off)

gonna be using this recipe in particular for exactly the same bread so i can taste the difference between them

youtube

this recipe makes two loaves, so each starter will have one loaf do its final cold fermentation in a banneton and one in a regular metal bowl:

I'll be sticky-noting the outside of the cooking towels to keep track of which is which loaf when it comes to baking

since they need to ferment overnight, tomorrow morning will be when the first batch of loaves (probably the banneton set) will be going in the oven

Fic idea where Steve starts baking as a hobby and Eddie gets overwhelmingly jealous of Steve's sourdough starter because it keeps getting in the way of him and Steve hanging out.

Eddie wants Steve to come over and watch a movie? No, Steve has to feed his starter at a certain time so he's gotta head home,

maybe Steve even gives it a name like some people do and treats it like a pet. Maybe one time Steve brings the starter to a function as his plus one and Eddie is positively seething. Just a full fic of Eddie having beef with Steve's sourdough starter, convinced its alive and trying to stop Eddie from getting laid.

At least the bread always tastes great,though...

...Wow, maybe it's a good thing I put the sourdough starter in a BIG bowl last night. :)

(That's about 500ml of starter risen to half-fill a 32cm / 5 liter Mason Cash bowl.)

Our Braided Bread

The pandemic has made it difficult and sometimes scary for family and friends to gather around the same table to enjoy not just a delicious meal together, but the nourishment of one another's company. In this beautiful essay, Benjamin Dubow reflects on the process of baking challah each week for his Friday evening Shabbat meal using a sourdough starter lovingly called "Orlando," a living, breathing being that evolves as Dubow experiments with his recipe. Come for the bread, stay for the story, and revel in the fellowship and community.

Orlando and I have been working on this challah recipe since we moved to Ames two summers ago. I started with other recipes, including my sister’s and Joan Nathan’s, and tasted what they were about. Then, we tinkered.

To make the bread more tender, I’ve added more oil, a bit more sugar, a couple more eggs — and good ones at that. I try to use the best eggs I can find, eggs befitting a holy bread. The ones I get from Ron & Kristine up in Hubbard from chickens raised on Central Iowan pasture beam with sunlight transmuted into liquid gold. The yolks are nearly orange (the product of their foraged, insect-heavy diet) and color the dough so bright a yellow it looks as though I’ve added turmeric. Now, when I make challah with other eggs — even the nice ones I sometimes get from the co-op when my poultry people are out — the dough looks sad and wan by comparison. Unilluminated.

Then, of course, there is the added component of Orlando, whose presence in this Sabbath bread brings home for me the concept of shalom, though I can’t tell you exactly why that is the case. (Shalom means peace, shalom means welfare.) Only that the feeling I get when we bake together, and especially when we bake challah together, is the same sort of feeling I get when I’m home with my family for Shabbos. (Shalom means wholeness, means harmony.) This, too, I cannot quite describe. Just that I feel a particular warmth in my heart and stomach, cheeks and toes. (Shalom is also used as a salutation — on the Sabbath, for instance, we say: Shabbat shalom.)

I think we’re pretty darn close to where it wants to be. In distinction to our usual sourdough loaf, our challah has a soft crust (though it still could be even softer) and a finer, closer crumb, the lattice of strands more braided pillow than agglutinated web.

I am in the process of making gluten-free sourdough starter from scratch and I am obsessed! It has been less than 48hrs and I am already seeing signs of life. I am so excited to make bread abominations!!

The best way I've found to keep my sourdough starter alive for a long time isn't schedules or what flour blend I use.

It's the power of friendship.

Hear me out.

Humans will pack bond with anything from dangerous predators to literal rocks. Get emotionally attached to your jar of sticky flour and forgetting to feed it will hurt your soul. So name them. Put stickers on the jar. Make up backstories if you're slightly insane.

Mine is Dr László Pereczy, Hungarian microbiologist but I only call him The Professor because I enjoy having a respectful relationship with my multiple millions of coworkers who collab with me on breads.

I don't know if this makes sense to anyone else, but it's been keeping The Professor happy and healthy so I thought I'd share.

HOW DID YOU MANAGE TO CREATE A BREADBEAST THAT POWERFUL

every time I try my starters die out of spite towards their delicious fate

What flour are you feeding? I almost lost Tex because I was feeding bleached all purpose flour. Once I switched to unbleached all purpose, she turned around and started having Opinions about things.

Everywhere I have read also says to feed with a 1:1:1 ratio (1 part starter, 1 part water, 1 part flour) by weight. But I was also told the starter should look and feel like "pancake batter" and - despite never having made pancakes in my life - in my VERY LIMITED experience, 1:1:1 makes way too thick a mixture. So, I usually keep 50-100 grams of starter, and more water and less flour. If I was keeping 100 grams of starter, I would add 110 grams of water and 90 grams of flour. Also you do have to keep enough of them I think. When I discard, I don't like to keep less than 50g of starter. You can probably still work with less, but I don't want to.

I'm also finding that I have to listen to her about when she wants to be fed. Everywhere says you're supposed to feed them once a day (if she's at room temp) or once a week (if in fridge) but I'm finding that MY room temperature is not "room temperature" but in fact is lower (because we're in the middle of a michigan winter over here). So instead of feeding her "Every day," I wait until I can see a clear layer of alcohol on top. I was told that's how you actually know they're ready to be fed, and it seems to be sound advice.

I've also seen advice about what to do with that alcohol; some people say mix it in, some say pour off as much as possible before stirring. I poured it off a couple of times and Tex was very sad afterward. I mix it back in, now, she does great. Maybe it works the opposite for some people, idk. I just know what works for me and Tex.

I'm editing to add: I don't know if the container matters but I got three Weck tulip jars (the one in the photos) and they have nice wide lids and the glass just sits on top and the curved bottom is easy to clean. I got three of them so that I could swap back and forth at feed. I stir her to mix everything, then pour off the measured amount I want into a clean jar and set it aside while I do whatever with the discard or rinse the dirty jar, then feed her in the new one.

So something funny happened today….

I’ve been working on my very first sourdough starter the past few weeks.

I named her Daisy 🌼 because Kaylor! 🥰

I thought I had failed maybe 3-4 days ago because it wasn’t rising and bubbling like it should. But I persevered.

Today my girl finally doubled in volume meaning she’s ready to start baking with!!!
