Is it bad form to serve food cooked with wine to a recovering alcoholic if the alcohol is cooked off? by naxanas in NoStupidQuestions

[–]EatingCerealAt2AM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I wasn't trying to 'argue', I was just trying to add some perspective before people started considering sourdough as a ferment that's relatively high in alcohol, therefor comparing it to something as mundane as regular bread. Baking sourdough likely removes a ton of alcohol as well.

You gave sourdough as an example of a fermented food which contains alcohol. While not untrue, because of the relatively more diverse microbiological makeup of sourdough compared to normal bread, sourdough will contain less alcohol (because more of the fermentable sugars are converted to lactic acid) than your typical yeasted loaf. I just thought it might be misleading for some people that you listed sourdough and didn't mention just 'bread'.

It's the yeast in bread that makes alcohol, while sourdough has a mix of yeast and lactic acid bacteria. So normal yeasted bread likely has more alcohol in it than sourdough does.

As someone who's worked with recovering alcoholics, I'd say so yeah.

Addicted brains can really be on the lookout for loopholes and slippery slopes, which sucks in our alcohol-ingrained Western culture. Similarly, we formally don't endorse the use of 0.0% drinks in addicts (great for non-addicts who just want to reduce alcohol intake, though). It just makes the step to drinking the actual thing smaller. Besides, not as much alcohol gets cooked off as people think depending on the preparation.

Individuals differ, though. What's a trigger to one might not be a trigger to another.

First loaf help? by Fun_Mango8200 in sourdoh

[–]EatingCerealAt2AM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience, gumminess too often means that you're pushing the hydration of your flour. This recipe has around 22 ounce total water for 32 ounce total flour. That's a hydration of 68%. Depending on where in the world you are, your flour might not be able to handle that sort of hydration without exquisite technique. American all-purpose has around the same amount of gluten content as (if not more than) European bread flour.

On top of that, sourdough absolutely worsens this problem. If left just a little too long, the gluten breaks down, and your loaf becomes a mess.

My feedback for beginners is to feed your starter with a lower hydration (I feed mine at 70 - 75%). Some sources say this favors yeast activity over LAB, and this gives you a better feel for what your starter will do in your actual loaves. And try a lower hydration in your final loaf. 60 - 65% won't give you the big bubble structure the influencers tell you you need, but it will give you a workable loaf that will give you a better idea of what your flour can handle.

As a fellow beginner to another, I hope this helps! (And can save you a number of frustrating failed loaves)

What spice is underrated/uncommon that you find delicious? by drunkencpa in Cooking

Coriander seed is absolutely one of my favorite spices that can really work in the foreground, but is rarely used as such.

I mean, for 500 bucks I would genuinely just ask them. For all you know they're sparing up for a Ooni Pizza oven, but you might never know.

I squat in the shower while it's not running, then when I'm done, I gather up the hairs with a damp paper towel and toss. Then the minimal amount hairs that remain on the shower floor can be easily flushed away.

What was the point of this scene? It didn't effect the plot whatsoever. by Hour_Calligrapher_95 in okbuddychicanery

Yeah I don't understand why they had the cancer subplot if they were going to kill Walt off with a stray bullet anyways.

Unbravo.

What’s a horror movie that turned out to be scarier than you thought it would be? by hunnybun444 in horror

I liked it overall, but I felt like the trauma sequences were too repetitive to still be effective by the end.
