It was yummy
No photo? Also happy to hear it tasted nice
This is maybe a little off-topic but how do people create “cultivars” of yeast? …The division of labor is so monumentally extreme for nearly all things that it totally blows my mind.
Like, I’ve never made bread from scratch, and I think that is an amazing skill. But I have been thinking about doomer/prepper stuff for a while now, and I realized that I wouldn’t even be able to make bread even if learned to do it now because I have no idea at all about the yeast. I feel like I could figure out how to grow wheat and grind it, but how in the hell did people find out that putting powdered microorganisms in their bread would make it rise in the first place?!
Get a jar, get some starter from the store or online, add it and some water and flour to the jar and stir
then every day pour out half and add more water and flower.
After a few weeks you can use it as starter for sourdough, it just takes a long time to rise.
You can also collect it from the wild, since you’re into self-sufficiency stuff, Sushi. You ever eat wild grapes? Or even sometimes in the store, they still have that white powdery layer on them? That’s… yeast!
Yeast is wild in the air all the time; you breathe is every breath :D and it collects places it likes to grow, like on grapes. Lots of other places too that aren’t coming to mind right away.
Yummy! Any kind in particular? I used to bake allll my bread and ppl always asked ‘what kind?’
And I was like, ‘I dunno, just whatever I made’ haha. But??
Kinda just slapped it together, but I put some garlic powder or such in the dough, and cut up garlic really finely and simmered it in butter then glazed the outside with it heavily
v tasty
Omg. That sounds SO. GOOD. I never got into any nice glazes like that, that sounds absolutely heavenly :heart-sickle:
It was! and the garlic got all shriveled and burnt up and brushed right off leaving the outside nice and soft and garlicy
