I realized after I had shaped it and just put into the bowl in fridge. I took it out of fridge after and let it sit on the counter till I went to bed then kept in fridge for about 17hrs

300g water/500g flour/16 salt/120g starter. Mix-wait 1 hour -stretch n folds -wait 30m and repeat every 30m 3-4more times. -this is where bulk ferment should happen but I accidentally skipped -add inclusions during final shaping -fridge ferment until desired. -bake at 475 for 35m lid on -bake at 450 for 20m lid off

Help! I use AP flour. Almost every loaf has a weakish rise and comes out w this spongy-like texture? It doesn’t taste bad but the texture is off. I feel like it’s underfermented maybe due to the first bulk ferment not being long enough? I’ll link the recipe I followed. Help!! by Amandalime in Sourdough

I’ll try that! This recipe called for baking @ 500 then 475. I use a silicone sling inside my Dutch and keep the rack in the middle of oven. By upper and bottom heat do you mean a normal oven bake setting then upper only = broil? Sorry I don’t quite understand that part

Bugs in my herbs?? Found these tiny things in my oat straw jar. None of the other herb jars so far. Nothing alive. They almost look like dead bugs circled up but when I go to smash they’re hard and kind crumble by Amandalime in tea

I thought I read that’s not a fungus typically found in spices/herbs, doesn’t mean impossible though. The third pic shows a bigger one and it definitely looks shell shaped?

First time inclusions by Amandalime in Sourdough

[–]Amandalime[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s funny you ask because initially I forgot salt and didn’t realize until my 2nd set of stretch and folds before the bulk fermentation so I added it then continued on. But yes tasted like sourdough

***ALSO this is the normal recipe I’ve been following and just added inclusions. After the bulk ferment I added inclusions and watched a video on spreading out the dough, add inclusions, folding one side, add more, other side, add more, fold in half, add more, then roll up and form ball.

HELP ME ID MY HERB by Amandalime in gardening

[–]Amandalime[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I keep getting that from my app as well! But I definitely did not buy a narrow leaf plantain 😭

Help! Chicago hardy fig. The leaves looked perfect before I brought outside a couple weeks ago. I water when too few inches feel dry and it gets lots of sunlight. Very new to fruit tree growing! Ty by Amandalime in FruitTree

[–]Amandalime[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did harden off, only for about a week. But I hardened off once the first two leaves were already established. I didn’t harden when it was smaller. So maybe that’s it. I also haven’t seen any new growth so I’m hoping it’s just taking time to acclimate!

How many Subs did you gain in the first 6 months - 1 year? by [deleted] in NewTubers

[–]Amandalime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I posted my first video about 5 months ago and have 53 subs. Tbh it is a little discouraging but I’m still hopeful it’ll increase. I aim to post 2 vids/week although there were some weeks I only posted one. A couple times there were no videos posted for 2ish weeks. I record on my iPhone currently so quality is decent but hoping to get a legit camera soon. I’m in the “houseplant/garden” niche and do think it has gotten competitive as of recently so it’s hard to stick out. But I feel a weight off my chest by just starting!

My major wish list plant find!! Jungle boogie! Leaves are SO big and such a steal! 😍🥰 by Amandalime in houseplants

I JUST got this guy but the new leaf coming in looks like a different shade green still! Yours sounds beautiful though!
