An appreciation post for bakers. This shit is hard! But also so rewarding! I made sourdough bagels for the first time, and a cheddar onion loaf along with a plain sourdough loaf, and tortillas. They are so pretty 😍😍😍

Going to give Leonardough Dough'Vinci another test bake tomorrow and make 2 Leonardough Loaf'Vinci's, one normal and one cheese.

Who said that you can't give your garlic grilled cheese sandwich a bath?

The bread is Organic Sourdough. Perfect bread!

My best loaves to date! 🥰🤗

was finally able to do my favorite recipe without any hitches and I'm obsessed with how they came out! 🥖🍞

[teacup-gathering-itself]

Feeling a little jealous of the unadulterated joy the sourdough girlies have got going on. Might have to get into that ish.

……….

(2) questions though:

how the ✨fuck✨ do you make a sourdough starter? (does not make sense)

And a really sour loaf of bread? Bc a lot of loaves I’ve bought just are one degree away from normal bread.

An Existential Horror in a Jar

Day 1 - Day 4

Day 1: The Birth of a Monstrosity (February 25th)

At 11:00 am, I committed an act of culinary hubris. I birthed a sourdough starter, a sentient blob of flour and water, destined to either become glorious bread or a biohazard. Half a cup of whole wheat flour, half a cup of lukewarm despair – it was a recipe for either success or a Lovecraftian entity.

I was supposed to feed it again at 11:00 pm. But honestly, by then, I'm usually lost in the abyss of immersive reading, late-night doomscrolling, or just pondering the futility of existence. So, the starter went hungry. It's probably plotting its revenge.

Day 2: The Blob Awakens (February 26th)

I remembered the eldritch horror in a jar at 9:00 am. My penance: half a cup of flour, half a cup of water. By 7:45 pm, it had tripled in size, a grotesque display of rapid expansion, and then began to collapse, like a miniature, yeasty empire in decline.

Was I overfeeding it? Was I feeding a monster? I cut the rations to 1/4 cup each, hoping to starve it into submission. By 10:25 pm, it had doubled again. It's learning. It's adapting. It knows I'm here.

Day 3: The Thinning of the Veil (February 27th)

9:00 am, and the starter got its meager offering. It had risen slightly, a subtle mockery of my control. By 9:00 pm, it was watery, as if weeping the tears of the damned. I added more flour, hoping to thicken the soupy nightmare. A video I watched said it would get thinner as it activated. Or maybe that was just the starter's way of telling me it was evolving into something… else.

Day 4: Bubbles of Despair (February 28th)

9:00 am. Slight rise, bubbles, no foul stench. It's playing nice. For now. I gave it a heaping 1/4 cup of flour, questioning if I should just give it the whole bag and be done with it.

Reflections on the Apocalypse (or, Y'know, Bread)

This sourdough journey is less a culinary adventure and more a slow descent into madness. I'm learning to negotiate with a living, breathing carbohydrate nightmare.

Lessons Learned (From the Mouth of Madness):

Consistency is a lie. Embrace the chaos.

Observe your starter's behavior. It's probably judging you.

Adjust your feeding amounts. Or don't. What's the point?

Set reminders. Or just accept your fate.

I'm not sure if I'm baking bread or summoning a gluten-based demon. But hey, at least I'm not bored. If you have any tips on how to appease a sourdough god, please leave them below. Or just leave a comment about how you too are slowly going insane.

It's bread day!!!

This week, brother and I are making a good old plain sourdough loaf.

Currently chilling before it's time for stretch and folds.

[that-creepnextdoor]

I just want everyone to know the reason I’m gonna be cranking out so many drawings over the next few hours is cause I’m currently making like 5 loaves of bread and each loaf is in a different stage of proofing.

[escapingyeast]

I succeeded making a sourdough starter. It is alive still. I don’t know what I’m doing. I have no experience making bread. I have an oven but no bread tin. If anyone sees this please help.
