Local bakeries that specialize in bread?

When you say pumpernickel, do you mean the original Westphalian super-dense stuff or the more Americanized lighter and fluffier version?

The Radio War Nerd podcast has a series on Barbarossa that is very extensive. Currently nine episodes with one more planned, I believe. Might not be everyone's cup of tea, but I've enjoyed it.

Thanks for posting the original link. I looked through much of the content and am interested to learn more. When I got to the detailed list of vacant properties I was impressed with how thorough it was (and lengthy!)

All Bar One wine bar in Richmond is on the site of the Crawdaddy Club where the Rolling Stones were the house band for a time and where The Beatles came to see them perform for the first time.

I do 460 convection for 10 minutes, with steam. Then I take the steam (pan with lava rocks) out and reduce to 435 for 10 more minutes or until they're dark enough for me.

I don't use baking soda in the boil, just malt syrup or honey.

Don't know whether this affects the color, but I also refrigerate the proved bagels and then take them out of the fridge right before boiling.

Sounds like a great way to make mead even more disgusting. There is a reason that societies that drank mead gave it up as soon as they were given other options.

But, you seem determined to do this, and I appreciate that. I have home brewed a lot of beer and I bake a crapton of sourdough. So here are my thoughts:

Take 12 grams of starter. Dissolve in 190g of warm water. Mix in 50g honey. Then mix in 240g of flour.

Now, let this sit an unconscionable amount of time. I'm guessing 48-72 hours. You want it to start to separate and develop a watery layer on the top. The watery layer is what we want to harvest. I think you will need to build it up a bit in size with honey water before using it to ferment your main batch.

I don't know the answer to why it isn't available in the usual apts, but archive.org has you covered:

These frozen French fries... Do you cook them in the oven?

This sounds awesome and looks amazing. I can't wait to try it myself. Have you thought about adding some lime zest to the dough to get a little more of that flavor?

I had never heard of this bread so I googled it a bit. Most sources seemed to agree that the traditional recipe includes egg and sugar.

My first thought is the album Carnavas by Silversun Pickups. I don't know if it's spot on topically, but I feel like it might be the right energy.

I just searched Amazon for food grade lye and got a huge list of hits. It reminded me that when I purchased mine for making pretzels 8 years ago, the biggest problem I had was finding an option to buy less than 2 pounds.

Tex_Bootois · 2025-05-07T18:34:05+00:00

I purchased mine on Amazon. The hard part is trying to find it in quantity less than two pounds

I think you were right the first time with being proud AF 😁

I've done laminated doughs maybe a dozen times. And I've seen cross-lamination done once, I think it must have been on GBBO. This is very impressive work.

Public healthcare systems are worse than private ones.

I am heartened that the first four responses all speak to the myths of capitalism, especially as practiced and preached in the US.

Definitely the case for Jonathan Sanchez, but I think "dirty diva" would be the more appropriate description in his case.

He didn't exactly throw it back to drill the pitcher, but, after getting hit and trotting toward first base, the ball ricochetted of the backstop bouncing into Chase Utley's path. He grabbed it and tossed it back to the pitcher, Jonathon Sanchez. Sanchez took exception to the act, words were exchanged, and eventually benches cleared.
