to make a starter you basically mix any ground grain 1:1 with water and let it sit in a room temp spot for 24 hours. wild yeasts will infect your mix and gently caress it uop!! in a good way

pour out half and repeat with 1:1 water/flour (a cup or a deciliter water/flour) the next day

repeat this process for 5-10 days until it's very light and bubbly

there wont be a proper sour smell unless you let it sit for longer than 24 hours so if you want that taste in your bread let it sit longer before using in a dough

edit: also you can test if your starter is ready by spooning out some into a cup of water, if the mix floats it's ready (it's all the CO2 trapped inside)

is the smell of warm bread worth buying a breadmaker for?

im not getting up at 4am or doing literally any preparation at all in order to make bread by hand, i aint got loving time for that poo poo

but for ages i've been thinking of buying a breadmaker go i can just toss some ingredients in there at 10pm in 30 seconds and at 6:30 when I get up the house will smell of amazing fresh bread

but it's a bit of a jump to spend £100 on a house smell

sourdough isnt actually sour, only bad sourdough is

the tiny bit of acidity in it makes your saliva flow when you chew it so you never feel like "man i need a drink to wash this down"

also sourdough is way easier to digest than regular bread, the long rising process lets the yeasts break down more of the stuff in flour.

i feel way way better after eating sourdough than regular bread, hell i avoid regular bread these days

also its fun!

if you're fine with eating regular quick yeast bread then yeah i guess. why not try sourdough. you literally only need flour and water to make it

also time. a lot of time. so god drat much time

Bread maker chat for a sec: They are usually prevalent at second hand stores. I use mine mainly as a pizza dough maker, pie crust maker and butter maker. That's my bread maker chat, sorry for distraction.

if you're lazy as poo poo and don't mind being somewhat limited in what bread you can make they're really good. you just absolutely have ot remember to put the bread on before you go to sleep or you're hosed. they have like a 12-13 down to 4 hour frame in which to make bread

the recipe in the op is super duper lazy. buy a cheap kitchen scale, maybe a rising basket, also helps to have a dutch oven or a big pot for baking. the actual work takes like 10-15 minutes, most of it is waiting on the yeast to do its thing

as for the starter just feed it before you go to work, or when you wake up. any time, all you have to do is keep feeding it every 24 hours. it's like a very non-demanding pet!!

:dong:

heavy (whipping) cream. Mine has a butter making mode. Pour some cream in, hit the button and you have fresh butter in half an hour. I don't use it often because buying real butter is cheaper.

yes

also once the sourdough begins to ferment, it will effectively render it sterile to other contaminants, nothing else will be able grow, no e-coli or HIV or ebola orwhatever, it's just safe

yea, this yeast will gently caress anything else up.

Just get married. I'm pretty sure it's mandatory that every newly married couple receive a breadmaker as a wedding gift.

I don't know if this applies across the pond, though.
