Weekend bake after a few months in hibernation

Guess who forgot he had this account?

Bacteria that make tasty food

a photograph of a half loaf of crusty brown sourdough bread, below a single slice from the same loaf, face up, on an antique wooden cutting board. The crumb of the bread is studded with pecans and has a deep purple color.

purple pecan pain

the color comes entirely from the tannins in the pecan skins, which turns purple in the presence of trace amounts of iron in the flour

Finally got off the couch and into the kitchen

Love rocket dropped for me last year and just when I thought I was safe, then they went and added this thing

I sure hope so!

Man, what the fuck is even going on anymore?

Shit, I was too slow.

I'm here already tbh. I don't remember the last time I bought a newly released game.

Okay, but can we call them Weiner Wellingtons?

I can't complain about being snowed in when the house smells like fresh baked bread.

A man is being interrogated. He says "I'll never talk!" The cop says "what if I washed all your cast iron pans with dish soap?" The cop proceeds to wash the pan. The interrogated man shakes with rage and shouts "NO! THE SEASONING! YOU MONSTER! YOU FUCKING MONSTER!"

Thank you!

I did it in the final shaping.

Lightly degassed, spread the dough, then the cinnamon sugar, and then rolled it up.

Pretty happy with these. First time trying cinnamon sugar in my usual sourdough loaf and it's looking pretty nice!

Fresh baked loaves of sandwich bread.

One for sandwiches, one to get stale and make french toast.

Since there have been a few skeptics regarding the suitability of some AP flours for bread, I made a chart of common US supermarket brand flours and their protein contents. I consider the cutoff for minimum protein content to make decent bread to be ~11.5%.

Oh noooo

Thank you!
