@jessiemihalik.comHC execs, could you not be evil for like, twelve seconds??? (I am published by HC. The people I work with are absolutely lovely! But they don’t steer the boat, unfortunately.)
@jessiemihalik.comFingers crossed for you and everyone in the path!
@jessiemihalik.comI seriously didn’t even notice! Maybe I’m in a bread coma, lol. Probably more bread will fix us both!
@jessiemihalik.comFridge starter really is a game changer! I’m too scattered to feed a starter every day, lol. And I’ve made that one, too! I make it if I’m shorter on time (or want bread faster).
@jessiemihalik.comAlways happy to help! I made bread because I’d forgotten about mine for months, so I needed to revive him, lol.
@jessiemihalik.comOh, and you can obviously make round boules, too, in a dutch oven, I just prefer the pullman pan because it makes a nicer loaf for sandwiches and toast.
@jessiemihalik.comIt’ll probably have black water on top, but as long as it’s not obviously moldy, it should be okay! Just feed it for a few days. I just did this with mine, and the first day was barely anything, but the second was better.
@jessiemihalik.comAddendum: This recipe is EXTREMELY forgiving. I tried the America’s Test Kitchen version and had so many failures, I don’t know why. King Arthur hasn’t let me down. Also, your dough will grow A LOT on the counter. It pretty routinely escapes my 4qt pyrex bowl, even with the lid on. Be aware! 😂
@jessiemihalik.comIn the morning, I very (very!) roughly shape it into a log and put it in an oiled pullman pan. I have this Emile Henry, which is expensive but worth it (to me). link.amazon/B0hkecSa2
I let it rise for 2-3 hours, then bake!
It sounds like a lot, but hands-on time is probably like 20 minutes. 3/3
@jessiemihalik.comMake the dough in the evening. I use King Arthur’s no-knead recipe, mostly. (www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/no-k...)
I leave the dough on the counter overnight, rather than the fridge, because it tastes more sour to me that way. I also use AP flour, or a mix, depending on what I have. 2/
@jessiemihalik.comPeople think homemade sourdough is fussy, and I guess if you’re trying to level up, it can be, but if you just want a loaf of bread to eat, it’s dead simple. My starter lives in the fridge. I forget about him more often than not, but he’s still kicking. Feed the starter in the morning. 1/
@jessiemihalik.comMy patience has been rewarded!
@jessiemihalik.comBread is in the oven! One hour, plus one hour of patience, and then we feast. :)
@jessiemihalik.comMy often-mistaken email address was made the alternate pickup person for someone’s curbside grocery order in NY, and the little devil that lives inside of me *really* wants me to click the “I’m on my way” button, lol. I didn’t. But I was tempted.
@suleikhasnyder.bsky.socialReposted by @jessiemihalik.comThis week's #FridayFling prompt is "attract," and my offering is from Tikka Chance on Me. My award-winning 2018 not-really-a-biker-romance novella, it was written on a whim and became my most popular story. Trucker and Pinky still bring me joy.
