Made a grilled cheese, the cross section is passable

I think the secret is baking a fuckton of bread over the past few years. That and the Challenger bread pan, that genuinely upped the appearance and crust texture of my loaves

Yeah, just sourdough, it’s the tartine country loaf.

These were a mega-batch, so the ingredients were as follows:

1900g king arthur all purpose 200g whole wheat 600g pretty active, but fridge-cold starter 1400ish grams of water

Autolyse like 20 minutes? Then add 42g table salt mixed with 60ish grams water.

Ahhhhhhh yeah that makes sense

Can you elaborate? I’m just not understanding for some reason

I love you

The video on pinball machines was absolutely incredible

Okay but what if I’m generally good at everything and this tactic keeps working for me and I just accumulate obscure skills

It isn’t cerebral or anything, but I really appreciated how the 300lb slab of meat typically only used brute force when pushed, at least from what I remember of the first season

My wife and I have four

You better start showing Plague Daddy, Prince of Decay, God of Chaos Nurgle some goddamn respect

Mind elaborating on the other threats?

But, it’s a slur when it’s used as a slur. When used to mean reduce, or slow, it’s just a word.

Airbus planes is it, bread bakers use it, and it’s perfectly inoffensive. Or, rather, it should be
