Such a pandemic cliche: making sourdough bread.
Takes all day. Took about 3 or 4 tries until I got the hang of it. Now I make two loaves every weekend. Tastier than anything I've bought at a store.
Started with Serious Eats: https://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2020/07/how-to-make-sourdough-bread.html https://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2020/07/how-to-make-sour...
Settled at Tartine Country Bread: https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1016277-tartines-country-bread https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1016277-tartines-country...
Makes me happy every time.
- nickkell 6y agoSame! Received a cast iron pan set that doubles as a Dutch oven as a gift. Since then I've been making the most delicious sourdough pizzas. I'm annoyed with myself that I ate crappy frozen pizzas/takeaway for so long, when I should have been cooking from scratch using a cast iron pan or pizza stone.
- testfoobar 6y agoI have not tried sourdough pizza dough. Nice. Will try later this week. I have two cast iron skillets. I make my bread by covering them with 9inch round cake pans. Comes out all right. Serious Eats is my preferred home made pizza: https://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2013/01/foolproof-pan-pizza-recipe.html https://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2013/01/foolproof-pan-pi...
- jeffreyrogers 6y agoI think this is the same recipe for Tartine Country Bread but not paywalled: https://tartinebakery.com/stories/country-bread https://tartinebakery.com/stories/country-bread
- testfoobar 6y agoThanks. I aspire to make Tartine morning rolls. But haven't gotten past the croissant dough yet.
- gdubs 6y agoOn the same ride. I got help from a friend over Instagram early last year, and it’s become an ingrained routine. It has become such a pandemic cliche, but I don’t care - it’s really satisfying. Calming, fulfilling, and just really nice to have good bread! (Sourdough Pizza has been another big thing in our house.)
- syncbehind 6y agoIt is seriously so gratifying to make. It's also really nice to be able to share it with friends/family. I think post-covid, I'd like to share with neighbours as well. Try mixing gochujang with it after the autolyse step, it adds a wonderful aroma and depending on how much you put in a nice kick too!
- testfoobar 6y agoHaven't tried adding spicy things into the dough. Great idea. Thanks. Spicy sourdough is making my mouth water.
