I've been using this more and more, with bread. Not just as a dip with EVOO and other spices, but right in the dough with my sourdough recipes.

>>1002 >A bag of MSG This definitely helps a lot, though. I was wondering how to get something more flavorful while adding in some umami, otherwise I get "tastes warm and a bit spicy".

A thread on everything bread. From cinnamon buns to sourdough loaves. Post recipes, share progress, or ask for advice. I've been on the sourdough journey for nearly two years now, with the first year being quite the struggle. I eventually settled on an overnight first rise on the counter (except in the exceptional heat of the summer), shaping, and then letting it rise until it was just right. I recently made some burger buns and pizza dough, but I've made quite a few recipes by this point. For anyone interested in starting the sourdough journey, I recommend Weekend Bakery (e.g. https://www.weekendbakery.com/posts/no-knead-soft-sourdough-rolls/) and Butter for All (e.g. https://www.butterforall.com/traditional-cooking-traditional-living/how-to-bake-the-perfect-sourdough-boule-in-your-dutch-oven/). Your starter will need time to gain strength, so don't expect crazy results upfront, but if you persist with sourdough pancakes, you will end up with great bread.

Do you guys have a good recipe for yeast free burger buns and yeast free pizza dough?

Anonymous 04/25/2025 (Fri) 16:46:54 No. 1751

>>1709 Do you mean sour dough or just alt methods of leavening the dough like with baking soda? pizza crust is doable but a burger bun is a tough ask. This looks pretty much as good as it gets for no yeast dough, (it will taste just like a strangely good frozen pizza, but nothing like actual pizza) https://www.biggerbolderbaking.com/no-yeast-pizza-dough-recipe/

Loving all the baking I've been doing these recent years and sort of feel like kicking my younger self over not using all the "stupid" appliances my mom had when I was a kid, mainly the bread maker she got one summer. Could have been making my own sourdough and cinnamon raisin breads for years. FUCK

my ribeye turned out good like usual I've started cooking at higher heat though, and salting right before instead of hours before after these changes A LOT of sharp white smoke fills my kitchen. Why? the steaks still turns out fine, but I'd like to know the reason for the smoke. Is it the salt burning? the pan? what's used: >carbon steel pan >tallow >coarse salt >fat ribeye

An alcoholic con man made a "documentary" like 20 years ago where he got so sick from only eating McDonald's he said it was literal poison (never mind the copious intake of hard liquor he cut out of the documentary). Had to watch that shit in high school. On the other hand, some autistic guy has been eating a big Mac every day since the 70s and is still perfectly healthy.

Also not really cooking related but when I was younger I did try mixing potions together in the bathroom or the kitchen by mixing all kinds of random shit like shampoo and olive oil and pine needles and stuff together, then adding some food dye so I could pretend they were mana or health potions. Good thing I never got into the cleaning cabinet as a kid.

>>1745 Weird question, as you shouldn't really have "leftover" dough that you're just storing indefinitely. For good results you need to be following a pretty stable, well conceived schedule with fermentation times otherwise disaster is likely. In general though if you're trying to put your current, active dough in something I'd say the smallest you can get away with is the best size. Really depends on your dough and how much you expect it to rise, but there's no point putting one dinner roll worth of dough in a gigantic bowl etc.

Anonymous 04/25/2025 (Fri) 02:58:07 No. 1747 >>1748

>>1746 I mean I put my leftover dinner in it. the containers are too small for dough I think. I can probably fit it in the bigger ones, but there wouldn't be any extra space for it to expand. how much empty space do you have to leave?

Anonymous 04/25/2025 (Fri) 03:01:54 No. 1748

>>1747 Got it, that makes more sense. The rule of thumb for most normal doughs is that they should about double in size so, basically, you should leave that much room. It's hard to approximate volume visually like that but if it like barely fits in the container then you're not even close. What you could do is take a container that the dough just barely fits in pre-rising but that you have multiples of the same kind of container, divide the dough in half (or thirds) and put each portion in one container.

My FL order has been stuck in china for over a week with no updates. It’s over. A few days ago I broke out some more of the 2024 cang yuan sample I ordered last spring. The flavor completely changed since last time I tried it. It used to be citrusy and bright, but now it tastes vegetal and medicinal. What gives? Glad /tea/ is back to some small degree. Reddit is abhorrent.

very retarded tea newfag here I saw a guide on making loose leaf tea that said one teaspoon of tea leaves for every cup you want to make So if I want to drink two cups I use two teaspoons of the tea? But can’t I just reuse the loose leaf tea anyways why would that matter? If I wanted two cups I could just put in one tea spoon and reboil water for later? I don’t know what I’m supposed to do here
