Nice! My wife got into sour dough over the last few months, it’s been amazing. She’s also been using the “discard” scraps for pancakes 🚀
Okay, I'm about 3 days into learning how to make #bread and I'm now pretty sure that "no-knead" approaches are bullshit cheats. NOT where beginners should start.
Learned how to slap and fold and HOLY SHIT it's amazing how the sticky gloop transforms into dough in just a few minutes.
The other key technique is "walking the dough" with a circular pull turn with a scraper.
Learned it all from this tutorial: https://youtu.be/bWN9mxR_iXI
We'll see how it bakes, but feels like a huge progress milestone.

Sourdough sounds like too much of a commitment / rabbit hole for me right now, but def hope to level up to it at some point!
It does seem absurd now that anyone would buy industrially produced bread. Local bakery, sure. Also maybe during the summer to avoid heating up the kitchen. But homemade bread just seems like such an easy, satisfying win.
Homemade bread is a game changer in life. Warm out of the oven slathered in butter.. oh sweet childhood memories..😋🤣
