I fucking love baking bread. Pic related. It smells amazing, tastes 10x better than store bought and is way cheaper. Take the homemade bread pill you will never go back.

[Anonymous No.15315639]

That's a brick of shit but I agree in theory.

Looks kinda dense...

[Anonymous No.15315739]

>>15315715
It’s meant to be similar to a soda bread according to the recipe. It tastes delicious warm with butter and a little salt

Mic color I burnt my bread my first attempt and when my landlord came to complain about the smell I punched her in the face. Ask me anything.

[Anonymous No.15315773]

>>15315769
why would you punch your landlord? What happened afterwards?

[Anonymous No.15315778]

>>15315773
I was irritated cause she wouldn’t shut the fuck up. I got arrested for assault but it didn’t matter cause I already have a criminal record

[Anonymous No.15315779]

>>15315769
Should have sprinkled a bit of salt on it and buttered it silly like a pro salvager.

The only bread I've made halfway decent is khachapuri. My pizza is always meh, tried scallion pancakes today and they were too dense.

Pizza is easy just follow a simple dough recipe from Vito lacopelli on YouTube. You can also use a cast iron skillet to do it. If you start it on the stove top for 2 minutes then put into a very hot oven you can create something delicious. Pizza stone works too.

Fuxking lol.

Arrested and evicted?

[Anonymous No.15315913]

>>15315841
yup evicted. Do I give a shit? No the place was a dump anyway I blame my first failed bread attempt on that piece of shit oven from the 70s. Maybe if that boomer cunt doesn’t wanna get knocked out by her tenants she should provide a property with an oven capable of baking bread.

[Anonymous No.15315934]

>>15315913
you're homeless because you didn't like an oven?

[Anonymous No.15315935]

>>15315913
Not holding proper temp or something? Could add a dutch oven as basically a heat buffer. Or pizza stone.

[Anonymous No.15315970]

>>15315913
Very reasonable, I like the way you think.

[Anonymous No.15315993]

>>15315934
I’m not homeless I went back to my moms place
>>15315935
I dunno something like that it was trash would take forever to heat up

If you burned bread in your mom's oven and she started bitching at you, what would you do?

[Anonymous No.15316076]

>>15316038
unironically nothing because she wouldn’t be a cunt about it. She would say say something like

“Oh anon what’s that smell something is burning?” And then I’d probably curse and say “ah fuck ma I burnt my bread” and she would tell me it’s ok and help me make a new one from scratch and give me a hug. She’s not a boomer though she’s from the silent generation and I love her to bits.

Calm down, it was a compliment. You're a lucky man.

[Anonymous No.15316248]

I did, got some dough rising as we speak

[Anonymous No.15316560]

nice OP, what's the ingredients?
I've personally trying to get a thinner foccacia down, waiting on current batch to retard a little bit before baking it tomorrow.
Already using less amount and I need to remember to just brush the top with lots of olive oil. Or maybe my oven's being shit and I will have to crank on broil to flash the top a bit more uniform.

[Anonymous No.15316587]

>>15316560
Very nice. Ingredients were instant yeast, flour (had to substitute all purpose for bread flour, recipe said that was ok but I feel that it didn’t turn out as well), salt and water. I made a different recipe using active dry yeast and a bit of olive oil a few days ago though and it turned out much better with a crustier exterior and darker brown colouring. Highly recommend this https://gatherforbread.com/easy-perfect-yeast-bread/#

I would also recommend trying Jacques Pepins Tibetan flatbread recipe. It’s done on the stove top and takes 15 minutes (uses baking power instead of yeast). Turns out surprisingly well for what it is and you can add all sorts of herbs if you want.

Pic related is the stovetop bread here is the recipe if you want https://www.food.com/recipe/jacques-pepins-flatbread-416395

sadly I'm cooking for myself, so with all the trial and error baking, I really only end up eating a few slices before saving the rest for birds and animals. Stuffing myself with all that bread isn't going to be good long term.

>saving the rest for birds and animals
Very based I am glad you do that instead of throwing it in the garbage like other people do (I hate food waste). I am a glutton so I eat everything I make especially with lots of cheese, garlic, olives and wine. I have gained 15lbs in the last 6 months but now I purchased a home gym so I workout for an hour almost daily. No regrets to be honest bread is life.

Damn. I've gained ~50 pounds since getting sober 6 months ago. Feels bad man.

[Anonymous No.15316783]

How do I make soft fluffy breadsticks?

[Anonymous No.15316804]

>>15316781
congrats on getting sober, hope it remains that way. 50lbs isn’t too bad I was overweight in the past and managed to lose about 50lbs in 7-8 months just by working out a few times a week, keeping a rough count of calories and eating no more than 1600-1700 calories a day. You can do it shouldn’t be too bad

One addict to another, don't worry about the weight, just focus on staying clean. The day will come where you'll actually want to work out and eat right, but don't rush it, just get through that first year clean. When I quit meth, I got fat, but eventually I started lifting and that fat became muscle, but it took a while and it's hard. It'll always be hard, I haven't tweaked in five years, and just thinking about it makes me grind my teeth and want to go out and score a teener.

Make sure you knead well and get a second rise out of your dough.

Thanks bros. Happy for both you guys too

Yeah, meth was my poison as well. After a couple years I moved on to IV and that's when things really started getting bad. It's amazing how quickly things can turn around once you get your head on straight though.

I've had great success with intermittent fasting in the past so ill probably give that a go again. I should probably start sooner rather than later

Does anybody have experience making bread in one of those bread making machines? My grandma has one that she never uses, I'm tempted to borrow it from her and try it out.

Can you make decent bread with them?

Pic related is not the exact machine, but it's this kind of device that I'm talking about
