My sourdough is named Jerry. Jerry from Rick and Morty because he's impossible to keep alive, but I'm succeeding! I baked it in a a dutch oven. Last ten minutes were uncovered. It's a lovely loaf, cooked all the way through!

Bread Fail
This post is entirely for your amusement. I found that I had taken photos of the worst bread fail - the craggy mountain bread. I didn't think to take photos of the dripping bread, but this one looks worse at least. And the bottom: We had to cut out the paddle. So not only did … Continue reading Bread Fail
Gluten Free Breadmaker?
I finally folded and bought myself a breadmaker, and I picked one that has a gluten free setting.

And then I didn't know how to set the stove alarm correctly, so I THOUGHT I set it. It never … Continue reading In Which I Bake a Cake Badly and the Actual Star Is Tundra
I Mades a Bread!
I've been experimenting with baking bread, and the last two were very dense, but edible. I checked my yeast, and it expired in 2017. Well then. Armed with fresh yeast and a cast iron bread pan, I tried again. It rose very nicely! I overcooked it by just a few minutes, so the top started … Continue reading I Mades a Bread!
I Made Bread!
No, this is not gluten free bread. Instead, this is me testing my End of the World supplies. Like, if you're storing them? Please check to make sure you know how to use them or they're useless to you in an emergency! In this case I have wheat berries and a wheat grinder. So I … Continue reading I Made Bread!
