It just hits different when you’ve made your own bread, apple butter, and strawberry rhubarb jam 🥣

Baking Bread
Tumblr media
Keeping up with the food theme this week... Can I just talk about bread? Like, I love baking bread, though I do it too rarely. But I love doing it.
I grew up rural enough to have learned how to make my own bread pretty early on. I was still in primary school. While I just learned to do it with special flour back then - something with yeast in there from the beginning - and only learned stuff like making sour dough later on... I just knew how to use the rising times, how to mix stuff into the dough and such.
And I really like it. Like, when you knead your bread, it feels so very natural . And it is kinda silly... If you make bread you turn at times just two super simple ingredients - water and flour - into something way more complex. And it is kinda crazy, right?
When I am kneading my bread, I also think about how this is an activity humans have done for thousands of years. Because we humans kinda always love our bread.
Not many more thoughts here. I just think that more people should learn how to make bread. Because it is cheap and simple and it will keep you fed for quite a while.

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

If baking is any labor at all, it's a labor of love. A love that gets passed from generation to generation.

note: bread in general is good as an offering and for grounding. However, you can add toppings such as sigils and herbs depending on your intent.
Tumblr media
you'll need:
3 cups warm water
2 1/4 (1 pkg) dry yeast
1 tbsp sugar
6 cups flour
3 tsp salt
for topping:
melted butter
rosemary; blessings, positivity
basil; happiness, money
garlic; protection
shredded cheese (opt)
in a large bowl, combine water, yeast, and sugar. let sit until bubbly (5 min)
add flour and salt. mix until combined into a slightly sticky dough. cover loosely with plastic wrap and a towel. let rise for 3 hours.
preheat oven to 450 degrees. melt butter and combine with other toppings (leave cheese out if using)
divide dough into 2 loaves. cover with butter mixture (sprinkle on cheese if desired) and cut X into centers of the loaves.
Bake for 30 minutes, or until golden brown.
use as an offering, share with friends, or enjoy as a snack :)

So I've had the gatorade bread post in mind for a while now. Specifically the part where they ask if bread is just yeast, flour and liquid. Which got me thinking, I could do that, not with gatorade, but whatever I found at the store.
Currently have strawberry milk dough and grape nectar dough made. They dont have seem to be as colorful as the gatorade one, but I'll continue posting about them when they're done doing their stuff.
