Homemade bread is so good but significantly more time consuming than cookies. Also learning to make the staff of life is like gaining a superpower that just makes you fat :negative:

It's fine. ill be the eventual goon compound baker when the biosphere collapse thread catches up with all of us.


Also bread dough/bread actually taste way better when you ignore it for a long time. like pizza dough lives in my fridge for about 3-5 days before i get around to making pizza so its like a sour dough pizza every time and its still bubbly af.

You couldn't grok my race car, but you dug the roadside blur.
Everytime I try to make bread the dough is very sticky, takes forever to clean up after, and never seems to form the correct structure no matter how much I work it.

I suspect it's because I need an entire day to do it correctly and I get maybe one of those a week.

Even use the hydration ratios that are easier to work with, but kneading it takes 15 minutes and the dough never changes and mostly just sticks to my hands and the boards and everything else

The government/Biden is trying to suppress the fact that food prices, consumables etc are going up and quantity/amount is shrinking. We all know it’s happening and are pissed but there’s no discussion or analysis in the media and Biden is pretending the economy is strong because jobs jobs jobs. All services have gone way up too (yard, automotive, etc).

Everything we buy has gone up by 10-20% and prices vary wildly by store in some cases. Gas has also not changed in weeks here which is odd, I was anticipating it to drop but Costco is keeping it high where we live and idk why. Seems like some funny bullshit is going on with them. The Costco in the next town over is already dropping it by .15 so idk what is going on.

Bread dough just takes a bit of practice and learning what your particular needs are - my house is always dry for example so i put a little more liquid in to every dough.

I thought I just sucked at baking for a long time but it just turned out i needed to calibrate my oven and learn to adjust

Now i make a loaf that looks like this basically every week and its only 5 ingredients. flour, yeast, milk powder, salt, water.



And the whole thing takes place in 1 mixing bowl that is easy to clean, requires almost no kneading and the bread pan itself just stays oiled forever and requires minimal washing.

Your first few times making anything will be messy as you learn but you get into a groove over time where its like - im about 5 minutes total for that loaf of actual work time and clean up and its just like 5 hours of wait time on the rise and bake where i can be doing something else - playing games, cleaning, painting, etc.

that's a nice crumb

The spot price is on the downward trend so they're keeping the price the same to pocket the spread. When the pandemic happened some gas station would leave the price untouched for months, and some still do.

The biggest problem is just remembering to feed your starter every day

Also: cleaning sourdough off your counter and walls when it blasts outta its container

The youtube chefs never tell you about that part

I tried the whole sourdough starter thing for like a month and i eventually killed it and it kept pissing all over my fridge because the liquid would condensate on the top of the cover i had for it then leak over

Bread can last for more than a few days though, I'm gonna try and make some and hope it turns out decent enough.

Find a no knead Italian bread recipe. You make the dough and let it rest overnight and bake in the morning.

If you have a Dutch oven preheat it in the oven and throw the dough in there.

Mess around by adding roasted garlic or rosemary into the dough.

Possibly dumb question: are you doing it all by hand? The stand mixer is like magic for improving consistency if you're hand kneading.

Cookies take 25 minutes including prep and bake time

The standard toll house recipe cooks in less than 15 minutes and prep is literally "stir ingredients until mixed"

plus you can eat a handful of raw squares while you're baking the rest. incredible earthly pleasure

If you're not using a marble countertop to keep the dough cold you probably need less water to flour in your recipe. I have found that a very large amount of the advice online WRT breadmaking is coming from people with idealized hand kneading setups and if you don't have granite or marble you're gonna have a bad time following that advice because the dough warms up and gets sticky on ordinary counters

Wet doughs either need a standmixer or idealized mixing conditions. I dont have a good ratio to offer (its been a year or more since i made bread) but i know i had this problem up until i drastically increased the dryness of my recipes

My first 6 months of homemade pizza making were spent trying to get consistent results without a stand mixer, to no avail. After I bought the stand mixer, I had it dialed in within a month. If I had known, I would have got it right from the start.

Another big thing is if your dough seems too wet - you can sift a little more flour into it at any point during the knead process so if it seems too sticky, sprinkle some, knead a little, repeat until it stops sticking to your hand and if its meant to be a wet dough, just loosely shape it with the layer of flour on top and then throw it into your pan.

I almost never use my mixer at all and start with long age wet doughs and just mix until generally incorporated with very little kneading.

also butter and zatar seasoning on top of home made bread is the most glorious and amazing thing i've ever discovered and its actually filling
