RE: Love's Epic Food Journey: Starting With Sourdough, Make your own Sourdough Mother and your first loaves of bread, Step by Step
Well that was sad for me to see and read. I am in SE Asia where the concept of bread is not well developed. That is about the kindest thing I can say about it. In the last few years I have only eaten bread a few times, and it is very disappointing each time I do.
I used to bake my own bread after I found out how easy, nutritious, and cheap it was compared to the garbage on the shelves. I never tried sourdough, but yours looks fantastic. Like you, I found out some white flour was necessary along with the specialty flours.
You have a wonderful post; so jam packed with information. I bookmarked it in case I am ever lucky again to bake again :)
You can do it! You can do it!
Give it a try. Be patient with yourself and loosen your expectations at first. That is, give yourself permission to bake imperfection at the beginning. It's okay. Just turn it into bread pudding or french toast.
Fluffy white bread, I hope, will be a thing of the past soon.
Keep on Steeming! I love the feedback.
I would love to do this, but we don't have ovens here! I would need to do flat bread maybe or possibly learn to steam it. But the street food is so cheap, I probably won't be baking in this phase of life.
I don't eat the bread here, but I am on overdose levels of rice lol.
During my travels through Latin America and while I was the main chef at @gardenofeden The Garden of Eden I didn't have an oven either but I've come up with many methods for making grilled and fried breads and crackers.
I sometimes feel like I'm on rice overdose in Latin America too..
A couple people have expressed an interest in no-baking bread items so I'm considering writing another sourdough blog on how to make the no-baking breads using the sourdough.
That would be wonderful. Please keep my name so that if you do that you can tag me, or feel free to drop a link in a comment on any one of my posts. It's so hard to keep up here, and I would really be interested in these posts and recipes.
In the kitchen I have now the woks are big enough to wash your small child in. You should see me fry an egg lol :)
